Fashion mogul Peter Nygard is set to face sexual assault and forcible confinement charges at the Montreal courthouse on Monday. The 84yearold has denied allegations that he used his position to lure women and girls.
Quebec prosecutors charged Nygard in 2022 over alleged events said to have taken place between November 1997 and November 1998. Details from a preliminary hearing held in January 2025 remain covered by a publication ban.
The Montreal case is separate from Nygard’s earlier Toronto conviction, where he was found guilty in 2023 of four sexual assault charges and sentenced to 11 years in prison.
