Nygard's lawyers have proposed a new release plan that would include around-the-clock monitoring of all his phone calls and online communications. Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench Justice Shawn Greenberg refused Nygard's bail application at the beginning of February, following his arrest in mid-December. Nygard, who is currently in Headingley Correctional Centre, is accused of sexually assaulting dozens of women and girls over a 25-year period. The plan also calls for Nygard to install software that would track his browsing history, online searches, screen time within different apps and GPS location data. Brian Greenspan, a prominent Toronto defence lawyer, filed the appeal, which argues parts of the decision relied upon "factually incorrect material provided by unreliable sources."
