Peter Nygard Denied Bail in Toronto Sexual Assault Appeal

The former fashion mogul's appeal is deemed weak, and he is considered a flight risk by the Ontario Court of Appeal.

Peter Nygard, 83, was convicted of four counts of sexual assault last year in Toronto.
Multiple women brought allegations against Nygard dating from the 1980s to the mid-2000s.
The Ontario Court of Appeal judge cited a weak appeal and flight risk as reasons for denying bail.
Nygard's lawyers argue the 11-year sentence is excessive and the trial had judicial errors.
Public confidence in the justice system was a factor in the decision to keep Nygard in custody.
