Jury selection in the sexual-assault case against Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard is set to begin in a Toronto courtroom tomorrow.

He was previously facing eight counts of sexual assault and three forcible confinement charges.
Nygard, who appeared in court today via videoconference for a pretrial hearing and seemed to shield his face with a white card, faces charges in three jurisdictions in Canada and one in the U.S., after authorities alleged he used his position in the fashion industry to lure women and girls.
