This is the best summary I could come up with:


One-time Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard was found guilty by a Toronto jury on Sunday of four counts of sexual assault.

A jury has reached a verdict in the sexual assault case against Peter Nygard, the one-time Canadian fashion mogul who is accused of attacking five women in his private bedroom suite of his Toronto downtown office building.

The women testified that from a period of the late 1980s to around 2005, each ended up in Nygard's private bedroom suite in his downtown Toronto building where they say they were attacked, overpowered and sexually assaulted by him.

The Crown argued that Nygard had used his wealth and power to lure in some of the women which would often result in a tour of his Toronto office building, and end up in his private bedroom suite.

In her closing submission, Crown Attorney Ana Serban argued that Nygard's testimony was riddled with inconsistencies, was unreliable, lacked credibility and should be rejected.

Meanwhile, Nygard is also fighting extradition to the U.S. where he faces charges in New York for nine offences which  include conspiracy to commit racketeering, transportation of a minor for purpose of prostitution, and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.
