WINNIPEG, Manitoba/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard was charged on Tuesday with sex trafficking, racketeering and other crimes targeting dozens of women and underage girls over a quarter century in three countries, U.S. authorities said.

Canadian police arrested Nygard in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Monday at the U.S. governments request under the countries extradition treaty.

Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss in Manhattan said Nygard, 79, had since 1995 used his influence and businesses to recruit and maintain victims in the United States, Canada and the Bahamas to sexually gratify himself and his associates...

...Nygard wore a white face mask, a gray sweatshirt and sweatpants, with his long white hair pulled back in a bun, at an initial appearance in a Winnipeg courtroom.

He was led away while wearing handcuffs and leg chains. Nygard plans to seek bail, and his next scheduled hearing is on Jan. 13, 2021.

Nygard also faces class-action civil litigation in Manhattan by 57 unnamed women accusing him of sexual misconduct. He has denied wrongdoing.

Born in Finland, Nygard grew up in Manitoba, eventually running his own namesake clothing companies and becoming one of Canadas wealthiest people.

Authorities said that victims were assaulted by Nygard or his associates, with some drugged to ensure they met his sexual demands, and that Nygard often targeted victims who came from disadvantaged backgrounds or had suffered abuse.

The nine-count indictment said Nygard used multiple means to recruit victims.

These allegedly included company-funded Pamper Parties named for their free food, drink and spa services, and held at his properties in Marina del Rey in California and the Bahamas.

The indictment said Nygard took some victims - he called them girlfriends - to swingers clubs where they would be intimidated into having sex with other men, to facilitate Nygard having sex with other women and for his own sexual gratification.

Nygard also used threats of arrest, reputational harm and lawsuits to silence potential accusers, the indictment said.

In February, Nygard stepped down as chairman of Nygard International after its New York headquarters near Times Square was raided by the FBI.

The company filed for bankruptcy in March.

Nygard has also been embroiled in a decade-long feud, including defamation claims and other litigation, with billionaire hedge fund manager Louis Bacon, who owns an adjacent property in a gated Bahamas community.


The guy has a crazy Wikipedia page too. I found this on there:

On April 14, 2010, Nygrd announced he was planning a $50 million renovation of Nygrd Cay, which would take two years to complete and repair the damage and employ 200 construction workers.[17][18] But a letter from the Bahamian prime minister's office rejected his construction application, citing the improper expansion of his property through intentional accretion of land over the seabed.

Numerous famous figures have visited Nygard Cay over the years including Michael Jackson, George H. W. Bush, Robert De Niro, and Prince Andrew, Duke of York. [19][20]

Jean-Luc Brunel, model-scout pal of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, has been taken into custody in France for questioning on suspicion of raping and trafficking minors, Paris prosecutors said.

Brunel, who was being investigated as part of a French probe into the sexual abuse of women and girls by Epstein and his friends, was picked up Wednesday at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, officials said. He was about to board a flight to Dakar, Senegal, the Guardian reported.

Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre alleges that Brunel, 74, had once gifted the late financier three 12-year-old French girls from poor families for his birthday.

She alleged that Brunel bought them in Paris from their parents, promising to promote their modeling careers, then shipped them to New York to be sexually abused by Epstein. They were allegedly returned to France the following day.

Giuffre, who has claimed she was coerced into being Epsteins sex slave, made the disturbing disclosure in court papers.

A former Dutch model, Thysia Huisman, has accused Brunel of drugging and raping her when she was 18. She hailed his arrest as great news.

I have tears of joy. Finally after all this time, justice is being done, she said, according to Agence France-Presse.

Huisman said she reported Brunel to French authorities in August 2019, and since then 11 other accusers have come forward.

Parisian authorities first opened their case into Brunel after Huismans report and conducted a search of his agency, Karin Models, in the high-end 8th arrondissement that September...

...Long before the Epstein scandal broke, Brunel was accused of rape by several models in a 1988 CBS documentary.

Ghislaine Maxwell introduced Brunel to Epstein in the 1980s, according to the Guardian.

Photos from 2003 obtained by The Post in August showed Brunel and Maxwell romping together on Epsteins Caribbean Little St. James Island which was dubbed Pedophile Island by locals.

Maxwell was arrested in July on charges she recruited girls and women to be abused by her and Epstein...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite facing criminal charges she helped procure girls for the late financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse, on Monday forcefully proclaimed her innocence and proposed a $28.5 million bail package in a renewed effort to be freed from a New York jail this year.

In a filing with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Maxwell also disclosed that she has been married since 2016, and with her husband would post a $22.5 million bond, mirroring their combined assets, to support her bail application.

Most of the remaining bail would be guaranteed by friends and family.

The filing also said Maxwell vehemently maintains her innocence and is not a flight risk, despite media that have ruthlessly vilified her and prejudged her guilt in far more articles than the comedian Bill Cosby and movie producer Harvey Weinstein got after their arrests.

Ms. Maxwell is not the person the media has portrayed her to be, far from it, the filing said. Ms. Maxwell wants to stay in New York and have her day in court so that she can clear her name and return to her family.

A spokesman for Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss in Manhattan declined to comment.

Maxwell, 58, has pleaded not guilty to helping Epstein recruit and groom underage girls as young as 14 to engage in illegal sexual acts in the mid-1990s, and not guilty to perjury for having denied involvement under oath.

Her trial is scheduled to begin in July 2021, and she faces up to 35 years in prison if convicted.

U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan could rule on Maxwells bail application this month.

The judge denied bail on July 14, agreeing with prosecutors that Maxwell posed a substantial flight risk, citing her opaque finances and sophistication in hiding her wealth and herself.

Authorities arrested Maxwell on July 2 at her New Hampshire home, which prosecutors said she used as a hideout and concealed her identity to buy.

TWITTER COMMENTS PARTICULARLY GALLING

Maxwell has since July been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where she was quarantined last month after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19.

Her lawyers said Maxwell has suffered weight and hair loss, been subjected to repeated and invasive searches, and lacks adequate protection from COVID-19, which now affects 80 inmates and staff.

Jail officials have said Maxwells health is good and that she is treated like other inmates.

In Mondays filing, Maxwell proposed living under home confinement with an acquaintance in New York City, with 24-hour security and electronic monitoring.

The filing said Maxwell waived her extradition rights and therefore could not seek refuge in the United Kingdom and France, where she holds citizenships.

It also said the lack of meaningful new documentary evidence turned over by the government since her arrest reinforces Maxwells belief she was falsely accused.

Maxwells bail application was filed on Dec. 8, and parts of the version made public were blacked out.

Her lawyers have said this was done to preserve the safety of her husband, friends, family, and co-signers for her bonds, and that Maxwell herself has received online death threats.

In a letter to the judge, Maxwells husband said Maxwell had dropped from public view prior to her arrest for safety reasons amid increasingly frightening media interest.

Twitter comments have been particularly galling, he added.

Prosecutors have until Dec. 16 to respond to Maxwells bail application...
