Nygard was convicted of four counts of sexual assault last year after multiple women came forward with allegations dating from the 1980s until the mid-2000s
The Ontario Court of Appeal said a motion to grant bail pending the appeal was heard Wednesday but the judge’s decision has yet to be released.of sexual assault last year after multiple women came forward with allegations dating from the 1980s until the mid-2000s. In issuing his sentence, the judge who presided over the case said Nygard ’s time behind bars would work out to a little less than seven years after accounting for time already spent in custody.
Nygard’s lawyers are also arguing that Justice Robert Goldstein erred in allowing the jury to consider the evidence of one complainant to help decide whether the Crown had proven its case with respect to other complainants – among other grounds that form their appeal. During Nygard’s sentencing in September, the presiding judge dismissed the defence lawyer’s argument for less time behind bars, noting that Nygard has been receiving special treatment in custody due to his various health issues and that his advanced age is not reason enough to limit the sentence. The judge also suggested Nygard had been exaggerating his health issues in his submissions to the court.
He was first arrested in Winnipeg in 2020 under the Extradition Act after he was charged with nine counts in New York, including sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
