Canadian prosecutors began laying out arguments against former fashion mogul Peter Nygard as his sexual assault trial opened in an Ontario court.

Mr Nygard has denied all the charges.
He pleaded Not Guilty last week to five counts of sexual assault And One count of forcible confinement.
In the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Tuesday, Crown attorney Ana Serban accused Mr Nygard of using his status as a " wealthy fashion designer to lure and sexually assault Young Women ".
The Young Women were offered jobs or tours to lure them to his Toronto offices, She Said .
There, " behind all the trappings of success and power, there's a bedroom suite with a giant Bed . . and a bar and doors, doors with no handles and automatic locks controlled by Peter Nygard , " Ms Serban said, according to AFP.

According to US authorities, the multimillionaire engaged in " a decades-long pattern of criminal conduct involving at least dozens of victims" in the US, Canada and other countries.
Mr Nygard was once estimated to be worth at least $700m (£575m), after founding a sportswear company in the 1960s in The Canadian city of Winnipeg.
The Finnish-Canadian businessman later developed his firm, Nygard International, into a global apparel empire.
