[Red State] It appears that yet another high-profile individual has been busted for trafficking minor children for sex. Peter Nygard, a prominent Canadian fashion retailer, has been indicted on charges of sex trafficking and other crimes involving women, many of whom were underaged. Prosecutors stated that Nygard, 79, is accused of "a decades-long pattern of criminal conduct" in the United States, Canada, and the Bahamas. According to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan, the authorities arrested the fashion mogul in Winnipeg on Monday at the request of the United States under an extradition treaty.
Nygard is being accused of using the influence of his company and its employees to "recruit and maintain adult and minor-aged female victims" over a 25-year period. These minor females were sexually abused by himself and his associates. The victims were assaulted or drugged "to ensure their compliance with his sexual demands," according to federal prosecutors.
