Peter Nygard
Case Notes
Fashion executive listed in Epstein's black book; later convicted
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Peter Nygard, a Finnish-Canadian fashion mogul, was sentenced to 11 years in prison in September 2024 for four counts of sexual assault in Toronto. He was convicted of sexually assaulting young women, including a 16-year-old victim, exploiting his position and wealth to abuse them. The sentencing judge explicitly described him as a 'sexual predator.' Additionally, Nygard was charged federally in December 2020 with nine counts including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, trafficking of minors, and transportation of a minor for prostitution. His case became directly relevant to the Epstein investigation when U.S. authorities sought an interview with Prince Andrew regarding connections between Andrew, Nygard, and Epstein in separate sex trafficking investigations, as documented in an April 2020 DOJ letter to UK authorities. Nygard operated a parallel enterprise to Epstein's, maintaining private islands, hosting lavish parties to lure victims, employing a right-hand woman (Suelyn Medeiros) to recruit victims, and trafficking both minor and adult female victims across multiple jurisdictions.
