Nygard, 80, was arrested nine months ago on a number of charges filed in a Southern District of New York court, including sex trafficking and racketeering. "We can confirm that WPS has concluded its investigation into allegations of sexual assaults by Peter Nygard and that the results have been forwarded to Manitoba Justice," said a police spokesperson. Manitoba Justice has been reviewing the case files since then but won't say if charges will be laid. "There are no charges outstanding for Mr. Nygard in Manitoba," a provincial spokesperson said in an email to CBC News. When asked whether or not the Crown was still reviewing the eight files Winnipeg police referred in December, the spokesperson said Manitoba Justice "will not be commenting further on this."
