WINNIPEG It could be another week before a Manitoba judge decides whether to allow the release of fashion executive Peter Nygard from a Manitoba jail. Queen’s Bench Justice Shawn Greenberg has reserved a decision until Feb.5 at 9 a.m. but the court heard it’s possible a ruling could come earlier. “I need a few days to think about this,” Greenberg said. Nygard, 79, has been in custody since mid-December after being arrested under the Extradition Act. U.S. authorities charged Nygard with nine counts, including sex trafficking. The indictment alleges Nygard engaged in a decades-long pattern of using force, fraud and coercion to entice and recruit dozens of women and girls to have paid sex with himself and others.
