Disgraced fashion mogul Peter Nygård, who once helmed the women’s clothing brand Nygård International, faces criminal charges in Toronto for a suite of sex crimes. Five witnesses say he raped them in a private bedroom suite at his Toronto offices.
. The case marks the first step in what could be years of criminal proceedings against Nygård, a multimillionaire who once helmed the defunct women’s clothing brand Nygård International.
Now, Nygård faces criminal cases in several Canadian cities as well as in New York. The Toronto trial, which began on September 26, deals only with allegations from five of Nygård’s accusers, though it marks the first time criminal charges against the mogul will be aired out in court.
“It was like a nightmare,” she told the court, recalling her feelings of panic. “I thought, something is really wrong here. I was trapped.” Now 35, the youngest witness in the case told jurors how Nygård raped her when she was 16 years old, allegedly enlisting another woman to help assault her. According to the, the woman, who says she was sexually abused as a child, explained on the stand that she met Nygård when a 32-year-old she was seeing invited her to the home of a wealthy fashion designer.
Once there, however, the woman said she noticed guests undressing; she also recalled two out of three television screens playing pornography while the third blasted CNN. She said she had a couple of drinks to ease her discomfort, only to wake up naked on the bed with Nygård pinning her down. The woman told the court that the other guests had gathered around the bed to watch Nygård “thrust his penis” against her vagina.
