Lawyers agree to push Peter Nygard’s Montreal sex assault case to May 25 to give his legal team time to deal with his other pending sex crime cases
Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard’s sexual assault and forcible confinement case in Quebec will return to a Montreal courtroom at the end of May.Lawyers agreed to push the case to May 25 to give his legal team time to deal with Nygard’s other pending sex crime cases.
Last week, he appeared virtually in Montreal court to face one count of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement involving the same victim. The crimes allegedly took place between Nov. 1, 1997, and Nov. 15, 1998. Last fall, Nygard was charged in Toronto with six counts of sexual assault and three counts of forcible confinement in alleged incidents dating back to the late 1980s and mid-2000s. He has denied those allegations.
Nygard has denied the allegations through his lawyer and had agreed to be extradited to the U.S. to face a charge of sex trafficking. Canada’s justice minister has said he could be extradited once his Canadian criminal trials are complete.
