TORONTO (AP) — Former Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard was sentenced Monday in a Toronto courtroom to 11 years in prison for sexually assaulting four women. The judge called the 83-year-old a “sexual predator.”

Justice Robert Goldstein said Nygard showed no empathy for his victims, who were all attacked in his company's offices. The judge said one of several aggravating factors in the case was the fact that one of the victims was just 16 years old at the time.

Nygard was found guilty of four counts of sexual assault in November but acquitted of a fifth count as well as one count of forcible confinement. He faces separate sexual assault and sex trafficking charges in Montreal, Winnipeg and the U.S.

Nygard has denied all allegations against him.
