TL;DR Summary

Prosecutors accused Nygard, 82, of using his "status" to assault five women between the late 1980s and 2005. Nygard denied the charges, while his defense team claimed the victims were seeking financial gain. He was found not guilty on one count of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement.
