Former Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard, who was found guilty last November of four counts of sexual assault after being accused of attacking five women in his downtown Toronto office, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison.

With credit for time served, Nygard, 83, will serve just under seven years in prison. In his sentencing, Toronto Superior Court Justice Robert Goldstein described Nygard as a “sexual predator” and a “Canadian success story gone very wrong” who used his wealth and power to commit four sexual assaults.

Outside the courthouse, Shannon Moroney, a therapist who worked with four of the five accusers, read a statement from one of the four victims, who said they finally have closure.

“We did this to ensure every victim of sexual assault will remember this trial and feel the strength and confidence to come forward and not be threatened by social status or money,” Moroney quoted the woman as saying.

Nygard sat in the courtroom wearing a black Canada Goose parka with a hood over his head. His bearded face was largely obscured by paper shields that court heard he wears around his glasses because of an eye condition that makes him sensitive to light.

Before his sentencing, Goldstein asked Nygard if he had anything to say.

“No sir,” he said, quietly.
