Manitoba Justice has been reviewing Peter Nygard cases since December, no charges laid
CBC
Manitoba Justice has been considering whether or not to lay charges against fashion mogul Peter Nygard for nearly 10 months, CBC News has learned, with eight files referred by the Winnipeg Police Service to the Crown prosecutor's office for review in December 2020.
Nygard, 80, was arrested nine months age on a number of charges filed in a Southern District of New York court, including sex trafficking and racketeering. He spent two weeks at the Winnipeg Remand Centre, then was transferred to Headingley Correctional Centre, just outside of Winnipeg, where he remains while he awaits extradition to the U.S
The Winnipeg police investigation began in February 2020 and lasted 10 months. Eight women filed complaints with Winnipeg police. Their files were sent to prosecution services for review in December.
"We can confirm that WPS has concluded its investigation into allegations of sexual assaults by Peter Nygard and that the results have been forwarded to Manitoba Justice," said police spokesperson Const. Jay Murray.
Manitoba Justice has been reviewing the case files since then but won't say if charges will be laid.
"There are no charges outstanding for Mr. Nygard in Manitoba," a provincial spokesperson said in an email to CBC News.
When asked whether or not the Crown was still reviewing the eight files Winnipeg police referred in December, the spokesperson said Manitoba Justice "will not be commenting further on this."
