MONTREAL — Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard is waiving his right to a bail hearing in Quebec where he faces two sex\u002Drelated charges.
Defence lawyer Laurence Juillet told the Quebec court that the accused chose to wave his right to a bail hearing because he is currently detained in a Toronto jail and is subject to a detention order in Manitoba.
Nygard, who participated in the short court hearing by phone, faces a charge of sexual assault and a charge of forcible confinement in Quebec. Prosecutor Jerome Laflamme says the Crown will be ready to set a trial date at Nygard’s next Montreal court appearance scheduled for Sept. 8.tap here to see other videos from our teamNygard is facing six counts of sexual assault and three counts of forcible confinement in Toronto in connection with alleged incidents dating back to the late 1980s and mid-2000s.
