Canadian Fashion Mogul Peter Nygard Arrested in Winnipeg
WINNIPEG—Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard has been arrested in Winnipeg.
Court records show Nygard was arrested under the Extradition Act and is to appear in a Winnipeg courtroom this afternoon.
The designer is facing a class-action lawsuit in the United States alleging the sexual assault of dozens of women.
Fifty-seven women—including 18 Canadians—have joined the lawsuit, which alleges that Nygard used violence, intimidation, bribery and company employees to lure victims and avoid accountability for decades.
