Former fashion mogul Peter Nygard has been charged with sexual assault and unlawful confinement after new evidence was reviewed outside of Manitoba, where the alleged incidents took place. Nygard was arrested in Toronto and is currently in custody for similar charges in Ontario. The decision not to lay charges in Manitoba drew criticism, especially as charges were laid in other provinces. Nygard is also facing charges in Quebec, Ontario, and the United States. The Manitoba government requested an independent review, and after reviewing the evidence, an arrest warrant was issued. Nygard, the founder of a fashion company, has maintained his innocence. His company later filed for bankruptcy.
