Former fashion mogul Peter Nygard will be back in a Winnipeg courtroom next month.

Nygard, 83, is currently scheduled for court on Oct. 11 at the Manitoba Court of King’s Bench on charges of sexual assault and forcible confinement.

The charges in Winnipeg have not been tested in court.

Nygard attempted to obtain a judicial review of his extradition order in Manitoba but was denied in May.

The hearing comes after Nygard was sentenced to 11 years in prison on Monday following a conviction on four counts of sexual assault in Toronto.

The charges stemmed from allegations dating from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, as multiple women accused Nygard of sexually assaulting them at his company’s headquarters in Toronto.

Nygard was acquitted on one charge of sexual assault and forcible confinement during his Toronto trial.
