Canadian judge denies bail for fashion mogul Peter Nygard

Associated Press  

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — A judge on Friday denied bail to Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard, who was arrested in December on U.S. charges that alleging he sexually abused women and girls he lured with promises of opportunities in fashion and modeling over the last 25 years. Nygard’s arrest on sex trafficking, racketeering and related charges came after the FBI raided his Manhattan offices last year. The raid came soon after 10 women sued Nygard, saying he enticed young and impoverished women to his Bahamas estate with cash and promises of modeling and fashion opportunities. Several plaintiffs in the suit, filed in New York City, said they were 14 or 15 years old when Nygard gave them alcohol or drugs and then raped them.
