However, after Prince Andrew is linked to a new sex abuse scandal as millionaire fashion executive Peter Nygard is accused of raping 10 women at Bahamas compound where Duke once stayed.
Peter Nygard, one of Canada’s largest fashion moguls, has been accused of raping and sexually assaulting 10 women on his Bahamas island estate, in the United States and “around the world.” On Thursday, a civil class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. court that alleges Peter used his international connections and “recruited, lured and enticed young, impressionable and often impoverished children and women, with cash payments and false promises of lucrative modeling opportunities to assault, rape and sodomize them.”
The lawsuit also names a number of the 77-year-old business magnate’s New York-based corporate entities and employees as defendants in the case for their alleged roles in “financing, facilitating, and covering up the abuse.” The plaintiffs, who now range in age from 18 to 36, said they’re not revealing their identities because of the “sensitive and highly personal nature of this matter.”
The alleged rapes occurred between 2008 and 2015 and among those three women were 14 years old, three others were 15 years old, and another one was 17 years old. According to the report, After ‘selecting his victims’ Nygard, 77, would allegedly sodomize and rape the teens before paying them up to $10,000 in cash for them to stay silent.
In 2000, Prince Andrew also stayed at the Bahamas home of the fashion tycoon. When suspicions were raised by local authorities in the Bahamas, it’s alleged Nygard would get away with such behavior by offering everyone from cops to government officials bribes for them to turn a blind eye.
