Nicholas Biase, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan, confirmed the raid but declined to comment on the investigation. It alleges he plied the young women with drugs and alcohol during “pamper parties” and kept a database on a corporate server containing the names of thousands of potential victims. Five women who were not named in the lawsuit told The Times that Nygard sexually assaulted them in the Bahamas when they were teenagers. The newspaper said two women later recanted their claims, “saying they had been promised money and coached to fabricate their stories.”
