A Toronto jury on Sunday found Peter Nygard, the high-profile executive behind a fallen fashion empire, guilty of four counts of sexual assault after just over three days of deliberation at the end of a six-week trial. He was found not guilty of one count of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement. The maximum prison sentence for sexual assault in Canada is 10 years. The verdict represents the first criminal conviction against Mr. Nygard, 82, who has been in jail for the last two years. Mr. Nygard appealed the New York extradition ruling in Winnipeg — his hometown and the former base of Nygard International, his clothing company — citing poor health, but the court has not yet issued its decision.
