Manitoba sexual assault charges against Peter Nygard stayed
- On Oct. 8, 2025, a Winnipeg judge stayed sexual‑assault charges against former fashion mogul Peter Nygard, The Canadian Press reported.
- Nygard was already serving an 11‑year sentence after his September 2024 conviction for sexually assaulting four women at his Toronto corporate headquarters.
- The Manitoba charge dates to 1993 at a Winnipeg warehouse where police conducted a wellness check and the woman later spoke with RCMP in two interviews.
- Despite the Manitoba stay, Nygard, 84, still faces a trial in Quebec and possible extradition to the United States on sex‑trafficking and racketeering charges.
- Wiebe told provincial court Judge Mary Kate Harvie that records of two meetings were destroyed last month, which he said crippled Nygard's ability to mount a full defence.
