A publication ban prevents us from saying more in this case, in particular about the two new complainants.

The identity of all alleged victims of the Manitoban is protected under this ban. Peter Nygard is further prohibited from contacting them, as per a court order.

Peter Nygard has been imprisoned at the Toronto South Detention Center since the end of October 2021.

He was previously detained in Manitoba on similar charges in California and New York State. He was transferred to Ontario at the request of the Toronto police.

In Ontario, a justice of the peace refused to release him on bail in January pending trial, but his reasons are subject to the same publication ban, as are the positions of the Crown and the defense on this subject.

A magistrate of the Court of Queen’s Bench in Manitoba had also refused to release him on bail before his transfer to Ontario.
