Summary

Peter Nygard is one of the world’s most reviled sexual predators who you may have never heard of. For decades the Canadian fashion mogul intimidated his victims into silence and paid to bury accusations made against him while trafficking underage girls to his Bahamian party mansion on his private jet. Emmy winning journalist and anchor Ashleigh Banfield grew up with Nygard as the uncle of childhood best friend, and knew him as “Uncle Peter.”On this very special episode of The First Degree, Asheigh Banfield takes Alexis and Jac through the shocking story, which led Ashleigh to release her own podcast Drop Dead Serious: Uncle Peter to explore and recount the last 40 years of Nygard’s crimes.
