Peter Nygard is known in the fashion world for building a large following. He has recently signed a consent form to be extradited to the US where he is facing federal sex trafficking charges. In addition to the charges he is facing in the US, the Washington post has stated Toronto police intends to charge him with six counts of sexual assault. My concern is why are individuals in powerful positions like this able to get away with things like this for so long.
The article stated he had began some of these devious acts as early as 1987. Why are individuals with money able to pay lawyers to silence their victims? Do lawyers that defend criminals like this have no moral compass?
I found this to be relevant to our discussion last week with our guest speaker that was talking to us about human trafficking.
