Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him in his Toronto sexual-assault case, as jury selection for his trial gets underway.

The 82-year-old–who appeared in court Thursday in a wheelchair, sporting a black suit with his long white hair tied in a bun–entered his not guilty pleas before sitting quietly beside his lawyers during the jury selection process.
