Already serving time in Ontario for similar crimes, Nygard now faces U.S. charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. Prosecutors say he used his fame to lure young women, promising luxury in exchange for compliance — one victim was taken to his penthouse and confined. His defense cited frail health and a desire to avoid U.S. extradition, leading to a delayed sentencing pending a medical review. The case returns to court in October, with both sides expected to propose a joint sentencing recommendation — another chapter in the fall of Nygard International.
