Ten unidentified women have filed a complaint against fashion executive Peter Nygård alleging rape and sexual assault.
Nygård is founder and chairman of his namesake company. The suit claims they were “instrumental in knowingly aiding, abetting, facilitating and participating in defendants’ decades-long sex-trafficking scheme.” The alleged claims include violations of the TVPA, participating in a venture of TVPA and conspiracy to commit violation of TVPA. The plaintiffs’ attorneys at DiCello Levitt Gutzler are seeking “a trial by jury on all claims so triable,” the complaint stated.
The 99-page complaint alleges that Nygård owned all of the Nygård companies at the time the acts were said to have happened. The complaint states that, “At the heart of this action is Nygård’s use of the Nygård companies to facilitate and enable the rape and sexual assault of underage girls and women in the United States, the Bahamas, and elsewhere around the world.”
The filing alleged that Nygård was able to engage in sex trafficking due partially to Bahamian culture, political corruption and his power in the Bahamas. It also claimed that sexual crimes are underreported in the Bahamas, due to weak laws that are poorly enforced.
