The 84-year-old, who founded the now-defunct women\u2019s apparel company Nygard International, accepted a plea deal and did not present any evidence in his defence Monday. He appeared via video call from an Ontario prison. The Quebec case is separate from Nygard\u2019s conviction in Toronto, where he was found guilty in 2023 of four counts of sexual assault and sentenced to 11 years in prison. Quebec Crown prosecutor J\u00e9r\u00f4me Laflamme said Nygard\u2019s plea was unexpected and he was prepared for a 10-day trial before a judge only.
