Former fashion mogul Peter Nygard was found guilty of four counts of sexual assault in a Toronto court on Sunday, following a six-week trial.

Nygard, 82, was accused by five women of attacking them in a series of incidents from the 1980s to the mid-2000s. He was acquitted of one count of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement.

A sentencing hearing will be set on November 21, prosecutors told CNN.

    A decade should be a good amount of time to bring anyone up on any charges.

    Imagine you punched someone in the head during a drunken bar fight, you didn’t get hurt and the guy was still alive but on the floor, so you left. Now it’s 30 years later and you’re running for a high status political office. During the election time that dude that you punched in the head decades ago comes forward is like @TheOctonaut it’s a horrible person! One time in a bar fight 30 years ago they punched me in the head and I got a concussion. They left me there to die! They should be charged with felony assault because of what they did to me!

    Wouldn’t you be a bit pissed? You probably forgot about him decades ago. And why is he bringing it up decades after it happens?
