Peter Nygard Seeks Bail Amid Appeal of Sexual Assault Convictions

The former fashion mogul argues his sentence is excessive and cites health deterioration as grounds for bail.

  • Peter Nygard, 83, was sentenced to 11 years in prison for sexual assault, with time served reducing his term to less than seven years.
  • Nygard's appeal claims the trial judge made errors, including allowing testimony on trauma effects and using one complainant's evidence for others.
  • His legal team argues for a sentence reduction, presenting new medical evidence of his severe frailty.
  • The Ontario Court of Appeal has yet to rule on his bail request pending the appeal decision.
  • Nygard faces additional charges in Quebec, Manitoba, and the U.S., including sex trafficking and racketeering, which he denies.
