Federal agents and New York police officers on Feb. 25 raided the Manhattan offices of the Canadian fashion retailer Peter Nygard as part of an investigation into allegations he trafficked and sexually assaulted dozens of teenage girls and women.
The search followed a raid on his Los Angeles home on Monday night and came after 10 women filed a lawsuit earlier this month accusing the fashion mogul of sexually assaulting them. Some of the women said they were minors at the time of the alleged assault, claiming Nygard gave them alcohol or drugs and then raped them.
