Former Canadian retail mogul Peter Nygard, once the founder of one of the largest women’s clothing brands in the country, was rolled by wheelchair into a Toronto courtroom on Tuesday morning as the sexual assault case against him began.
Crown prosecutor Ana Serban accused the disgraced business magnate of using his power and influence in the fashion industry to lure young women to his company’s Toronto headquarters, promising them modeling and hostess work, or financial support, and then sexually assaulting them.
