Former fashion mogul Peter Nygard was found guilty of four counts of sexual assault in a Toronto court on Sunday, following a six-week trial.
Nygard, 82, was accused by five women of attacking them in a series of incidents from the 1980s to the mid-2000s. He was acquitted of one count of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement.
A sentencing hearing will be set on November 21, prosecutors told CNN.
Good. This guy is a monster. The Evil by Design podcast did a deep dive on him, and it is a rough listen.
That guy definitely owns a piano key neck tie.
When can we read news like
"Rich person does incredibly nice thing and everybody loves it"?
Why is it never this?

It doesn't get clicks, meaning ad views, meaning profit.
I know, i know. It was just a cynical but useless comment of mine.
Heard about this on the radio today morning. Apparently his son said he's happy he'll never see the outside of a jail cell again. It wasn't a direct quote though, the radio host may have tweaked the message a bit.
It's Canadian law, he's gonna get like a year or two tops
Um…
How do you pronounce his surname…?
Nigh-guard
That's an anglicisation though, it's Scandinavian and means New Farm.
Here's a swedish version:
Nygard consented to be extradited to the United States in 2021 but in 2023 he appealed against extradition, according to court documents reviewed by CBC.
No backsies.

How long do you have to wait for a sexual assault to no longer be a crime, in your opinion? Remember this is the law. You can't just say "when it feels like it". 50 years? 25? 7?
A decade should be a good amount of time to bring anyone up on any charges.
Imagine you punched someone in the head during a drunken bar fight, you didn't get hurt and the guy was still alive but on the floor, so you left. Now it's 30 years later and you're running for a high status political office. During the election time that dude that you punched in the head decades ago comes forward is like @TheOctonaut it's a horrible person! One time in a bar fight 30 years ago they punched me in the head and I got a concussion. They left me there to die! They should be charged with felony assault because of what they did to me!
Wouldn't you be a bit pissed? You probably forgot about him decades ago. And why is he bringing it up decades after it happens?
Your argument is that consent doesn't matter because you should have known better? Can a person change their mind? I really don't want my female friends and family members living in that world.
It's a touchy subject, that girl knew exactly what was going to happen when she went back with the band. They did what they always did with these girls, they fucked them then left then. There was no other proposition other than "we're going to fuck", she knew that was going to happen. She's more seeking revenge because he humiliated her. She put herself in that situation, if she hasn't been there it wouldn't have happen to her. You can shout "that's victim blaming!" all you want but it's the truth. Gene Simmons from Kiss said he's fucked thousands of random women after show, groupies have always been a thing.
