A children's rights group based in Winnipeg is asking the province and federal government to investigate whether they can and should attempt to have Peter Nygard extradited to Canada, as he faces allegations of sexual assault. No criminal charges have been filed against Nygard in relation to the sex assault claims. In a statement email to CBC, Ken Frydman, a spokesperson for Peter Nygard, said "Beyond Borders and David Matas must be confused. There are no charges against Peter Nygard anywhere in the world. "Peter Nygard looks forward to clearing his name by exposing the actions of Louis Bacon and his co-conspirators that have destroyed a much-celebrated fashion brand and resulted in more than 1,400 Nygard employees losing their livelihood," Frydman's statement says.
