Fashion designer Peter Nygard lured and drugged sexual asault victims, suit alleges
CBSN
Canadian fashion executive Peter Nygard, his companies and certain employees are being sued by more than a dozen of Nygard's alleged victims, who claim they were sexually assaulted after being lured with offers of modeling contracts and party invitations.
Nygard, Nygard International and others are named in a suit filed Thursday in Manhattan federal court by 13 unnamed victims, who allege that Nygard relied on company employees "to groom and entice children and women."
The suit comes less than two weeks after the businessman's conviction on four counts of sexual assault by a jury in Toronto following a six-week trial. The 82-year-old is facing extradition to the U.S., where he's charged with sex trafficking and racketeering.
On the eve of the D-Day invasion, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower spent the remaining hours of daylight with the paratroopers who were about to jump behind German lines into occupied France. A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
