Peter Nygard sexual assault trial in Toronto to hear opening arguments
The 82-year-old pleaded not guilty last week in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to five counts of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement.

He also faces sex-related charges in Manitoba and Quebec, and is set to be extradited to the U.S. to faces sex-related charges there once his criminal cases in Canada are completed.
