1/Canadian fashion millionaire Peter Nygard has made headlines this month, after 10 women sued him for rape. @kim_barker @gr_ashford and I spent months digging into the story behind the lawsuit, interviewing more than 270 people. Our story:https://tinyurl.com/rwgdyot

6/Five Bahamian women who were not part of the lawsuit told us Mr. Nygard raped them, mostly at pamper parties. Ten former employees said he proposed sex, touched them inappropriately or raped them.pic.twitter.com/cmbZ5prDXV
