floriparesort.com – 14 July 2026 | Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard pleads guilty in assault case [titlebase] to sexual assault and forcible confinement in Quebec, marking the latest conviction in the downfall of the founder of the once-global Nygard International clothing company. The 84-year-old appeared by video from an Ontario prison, where he is serving an 11-year sentence after a Toronto jury convicted him in 2023 of sexually assaulting four women. He also faces extradition to the United States on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
