Evil By DesignAuthor: CBC
More than 80 women from around the world have accused the fast-fashion mogul Peter Nygard of rape, sexual assault and human trafficking in incidents across four decades and at least four countries. He denies it all, and claims his accusers are lying as part of a vast conspiracy. The Winnipegger had built a sprawling international retail empire over the past 50 years but now, Nygard's professional achievements are being overshadowed by a sinister personal life, earning him the moniker, Canadas Jeffrey Epstein. Host Timothy Sawa has been an investigative journalist at the CBC for more than two decades. For almost half that time, hes been part of a team investigating Peter Nygard and defending his journalism in court. Now, he helms a new podcast that asks the key questions: Who are the women and men who have stepped forward? Which systems failed them? And how did Nygard get away with it for so long?
