Nygard faces a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. by 57 women, including 18 Canadians, who allege he used the promise of modeling and other fashion industry jobs to lure victims, who were sexually abused and assaulted by him and his co-conspirators.
The women are seeking a trial by jury and as yet-to-be determined damages.
