Peter Nygard, who once led a women’s fashion empire, was found guilty of four charges of sexual assault in a Canadian court on Sunday, but was acquitted of a fifth charge plus a charge of forcible confinement.

The jury returned the verdict on the fifth day of deliberations after a six-week trial in Toronto.
