Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard accused of sex trafficking, drugging and raping teen girls

Nygard allegedly lured young women, including several who were 14 or 15 years old at the time, to his Bahamian mansion under the pretence of modelling opportunities in order to sexually assault them, according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. court Thursday.

It alleges he and these companies "using interstate and foreign commerce, recruited, lured and enticed young, impressionable and often impoverished children and women, with cash payments and false promises of lucrative modeling opportunities to assault, rape, and sodomize them."

Nygard routinely held so-called pamper parties on Sundays at his nearly 14,000-square-metre (or 150,000-square-foot) compound at Lyford Cay, a gated community on New Providence Island, Bahamas, according to the lawsuit. The property, which Nygard built 1987, became known as Nygard Cay and has "an additional fortress-like gate surrounding" it, as well as a "fence equipped with barbed wire."

Women and girls — preferably young and slim — would be invited to these "pamper parties" under the pretence of receiving free massages, pedicures, photo shoots and other indulgences, according to the suit. Upon arrival, they would register at the gate, providing personal information and posing for photographs.

This information allegedly would be uploaded into a database hosted on a company server that the lawsuit claims contains the information of more than 7,500 women and girls dating back to 1987.

"Nygard would then use this information to select his potential victims for the night," the lawsuit reads.

He allegedly lured victims into his room or had staff bring them there to discuss potential modelling contracts, but instead sexually assaulted the women and girls, according to the suit.

His personal security guard often stood outside the bedroom door and victims could not leave Nygard Cay without Nygard's permission, the lawsuit says.

"Nygard expected a sex act before he was willing to consider releasing any person," the lawsuit reads.

He allegedly paid victims varying sums of money, and entered ratings into the database based on their looks and sexual performance.

Some of the women became full-time girlfriends, according to the lawsuit, and would accompany him on trips, engage in sexual acts with him and recruit new partners for him. He allegedly punished his girlfriends for failing to provide "an easily exploitable victim each night" and rewarded them for doing so.

These women were expected to cater to Nygard's daily needs, waking up at 5:30 a.m. to prepare his breakfast and taking care of other tasks, including bathing him, clipping his toenails and preparing his clothes. The women came from — and recruited women from — countries around the world, including Canada.

Nygard allegedly drugged or had others drugs several women and girls so they would comply with his demands for sex.

The lawsuit says Nygard used company resources to run the sex trafficking venture. The lawsuit claims company accounts were used "to pay for drugs, alcohol, entertainment and food" at the parties and cash for accomplices and victims — among other resources.

The lawsuit claims "Nygard used his financial resources, influence, power in the Bahamas, and psychological manipulation to intimidate his victims and to ensure that his crimes were not reported."
