Lawyers representing 46 women who have accused Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard of rape and trafficking in a class-action lawsuit are accusing the defendants in the case of destroying evidence.
Peter Nygard arrives at the 24th Night of 100 Stars Oscars Viewing Gala at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., on March 2, 2014. WINNIPEG -- Lawyers representing 46 women who have accused Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard of rape and trafficking in a class-action lawsuit have sent a letter to the judge requesting a pre-motion conference in anticipation of filing a motion accusing the defendants in the case of destroying evidence.
They say the defendants had a duty to preserve all evidence from as early as February 2019, and on Feb. 25, 2020, they had received tips from former Nygard employees who said executives told employees to destroy computer files. This was also the same day the FBI raided Nygard's New York headquarters and California home.
