DESIGNER PETER NYGARD CHARGED WITH HUMAN TRAFFICING AND SEXUAL ABUSE

The day before, it became known about the arrest of the millionaire fashion designer and founder of the Nygard Group, Peter Nygard by the Canadian police. He is charged with human trafficking with subsequent sexual exploitation, rape and racketeering.

According to the investigation, over the past 25 years, the man, using the influence of his company Nygard Group recruited women, including minors, who were subsequently forced to have sex with him and his business partners.

Force, fraud or even drugs could be used for this purposes.

The situation began to actively develop in February this year, when ten women filed a claim in American court. The claim indicated that in the 2000s, Peter Nygard invited women and teenage girls to his home in the Bahamas and raped them.

After that, the searches were carried out in the office of Nygard's company and the fashion designer himself lost his post of chairman of the board of Nygard International due to the scandal.

To date, 84 women have already joined the class action lawsuit, and the designer's two sons have also filed the claims. They stated that their father paid the sex workers to make the sons lose their virginity. At that time, the oldest was 15 years old and the youngest was 14.

Peter Nygard and his lawyer deny all the charges.
