Former Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard, 83, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison by a Toronto court for sexually assaulting four women. The judge described Nygard as a 'sexual predator' and highlighted his lack of empathy towards the victims, who were all assaulted in his company's offices. One victim was just 16 years old at the time of the assault, which the judge deemed as an aggravating factor.

Nygard, who denied all allegations against him, was found guilty of four counts of sexual assault but acquitted of a fifth count and one count of forcible confinement. He is also facing separate sexual assault and sex trafficking charges in Montreal, Winnipeg, and the U.S.
