A Court of Quebec judge in Montreal has found fashion mogul Peter Nygard guilty of sexual assault and forcible confinement. The 84-year-old, who founded the now-defunct women’s apparel company Nygard International, accepted a plea deal and did not present any evidence in his defence Monday. He appeared via video call from an Ontario prison. The Quebec case is separate from Nygard’s conviction in Toronto, where he was found guilty in 2023 of four counts of sexual assault and sentenced to 11 years in prison. Quebec Crown prosecutor Jérôme Laflamme said Nygard’s plea was unexpected and he was prepared for a 10-day trial before a judge only. Global's Felicia Parillo has more.
