Nygard took the stand in his own defence on Wednesday at his sexual assault trial in Toronto, telling court that the so-called Finland suite at 1 Niagara St., had three exits and only one of them required a passcode because it led into his office.
Nygard said there was also a door that led to a small washroom, and that washroom was connected to the “public” area of the building via another door that could be opened. Both bathroom doors had handles, he said.In its opening address at the beginning of the trial, the Crown had indicated that the doors to Nygard's private suite had no handles.
Multiple complainants in the trial have alleged they were taken to Nygard's Toronto headquarters under pretences ranging from tours to job interviews, with encounters ending in a top-floor bedroom suite where they allege they were sexually assaulted. The fifth and final complainant in the trial testified last week and the defence began presenting its evidence this week.
Earlier on Wednesday, Greenspan asked Nygard about his childhood, his family's immigration to Canada from Finland after the Second World War and his rise in the North American fashion industry.
