Peter Nygard is driven from a Toronto court on Sept. 27, 2023, after hearing testimony in the former fashion mogul’s sexual assault trial.
Peter Nygard’s Toronto sentencing hearing will go ahead next week after the disgraced fashion mogul lost a bid to have the dates pushed back once again, in a sexual assault case that has dragged out since he was convicted last fall. Peter Nygard's Toronto sentencing hearing will go ahead next week after the disgraced fashion mogul lost a bid to have the dates pushed back once again, in a sexual assault case that has dragged out since he was convicted last fall.
"Let me repeat what I said on the last occasion, and I will quote," Goldstein said. "There will be no more adjournments. This matter will go ahead." The two-day Toronto sentencing hearing is scheduled to go ahead as planned July 24 and 25, when Nygard is expected to appear in person. If a witness or expert is unavailable on those dates, the judge said, "they had either make themselves available or they will not be testifying."
Nygard now requires a wheelchair and spends 16 to 18 hours a day in bed. He continues to take medication for bladder, prostate and high blood pressure issues that he had before being arrested, court heard. She said while it's likely Nygard will be given a sentence that keeps him in custody, the question of exactly where that will be — in the federal penitentiary system or in the provincial one — is expected to be "a live issue" at sentencing.
