Former Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard was sentenced to 11 years in prison on Monday after being convicted of four counts of sexual assault in attacks on women in his Toronto office building that in some cases date back for decades.
The 11-year sentence is reduced to take into account time he has already spent behind bars. Nygard has about 6.7 years left to serve and will be eligible for full parole after one-third of that.
Nygard, 83, was found guilty by a Toronto jury on four counts of sexual assault last November. He was acquitted of a fifth count of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement.
Toronto police laid their own charges against him about a year later. Nygard also faces charges of sexual assault and forcible confinement in Manitoba and Quebec.
I first moved to Winnipeg back in the late 80’s and heard stories about this happening to First Nation’s girls that happened to be walking by his warehouse at night.
Some even reported it to the cops, and ofc nothing was done … no investigation at all … because rich white men don’t do those things and get charged. :/
I’m glad he’s paying the piper now. He’ll die in prison and no one will shed a tear for his rapey ass.
