Former fashion mogul Peter Nygard was found guilty of four counts of sexual assault in a Toronto court on Sunday, following a six-week trial.

Nygard, 82, was accused by five women of attacking them in a series of incidents from the 1980s to the mid-2000s. He was acquitted of one count of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement.

A sentencing hearing will be set on November 21, prosecutors told CNN.

Good. This guy is a monster. The Evil by Design podcast did a deep dive on him, and it is a rough listen.

"Rich person does incredibly nice thing and everybody loves it"?

Why is it never this?

It doesn't get clicks, meaning ad views, meaning profit.

I know, i know. It was just a cynical but useless comment of mine.

Heard about this on the radio today morning. Apparently his son said he's happy he'll never see the outside of a jail cell again. It wasn't a direct quote though, the radio host may have tweaked the message a bit.

That's an anglicisation though, it's Scandinavian and means New Farm.

Here's a swedish version:

Nygard consented to be extradited to the United States in 2021 but in 2023 he appealed against extradition, according to court documents reviewed by CBC.

No backsies.
