TORONTO — Former fashion mogul Peter Nygard is testifying in his own defence for a second day at his sexual assault trial in Toronto.
Nygard, the founder of a now-defunct international women's clothing company, is accused of using his position in the fashion industry to lure women and girls.
Multiple complainants in the trial have alleged they were taken to Nygard's Toronto headquarters under pretences ranging from tours to job interviews, with encounters ending in a top-floor bedroom suite where they allege they were sexually assaulted. Nygard told the jury Wednesday that there was no way someone could get locked inside the suite because it had three exits and only one of them required a passcode since it led to his office.
Nygard also described a dresser in his private suite that he said was placed behind a mirrored door and therefore not visible from the bed in the room.
