A court in Toronto on Wednesday delayed proceedings on sexual assault and forcible confinement charges for Canadian fashion designer Peter Nygard, as Canada's justice minister decides whether to extradite him to the United States to face separate charges there.
Canadian police arrested Nygard, 80, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in December, 2020, at the U.S. government's request under the countries' extradition treaty. He consented to extradition in October to face U.S. charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
