Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard was arrested Monday night in Winnipeg under the Extradition Act. Hefaces nine charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering in a New York court.

You may remember that Nygard has already been accused by dozens of women across the globe of sexual assault, rape and human trafficking. While he has denied all allegations, these charges out of New York are the first criminal charges he will contend with.

Today we are joined by Timothy Sawa. He's a CBC investigative reporter who has been covering this story for more than a decade and has a new CBC podcast about Nygard, Evil by Design, out this February.
