Peter Nygard case: Former Canadian fashion mogul agrees to be extradited to the US | FULL

Former Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard has signed a consent form allowing him to be extradited to the United States to face charges of sex trafficking.

Justice Glenn Joyal told a Manitoba courtroom Friday morning the form was signed on Thursday.

Nygard was arrested in December under the Extradition Act and faces nine counts in the Southern District of New York.

Authorities there accuse the 80-year-old of using his influence in the fashion industry to lure women and girls with the promise of modelling and other financial opportunities.

Nygard has repeatedly denied all allegations against him.
