The 82-year-old founder of a now-defunct women's clothing company has pleaded not guilty to five counts of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement in alleged incidents ranging from the 1980s to mid-2000s.
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. Nygard denied those allegations as he testified in his own defence last week, and said he has never done the things the five complainants have accused him of.
The Crown's cross-examination so far has focused on Nygard's 11-hour interview with a Toronto police detective in 2021. Nygard testified yesterday that he went into the interview with"nothing to hide" from police, but could not recall several details of that conversation when questioned about them in court.
