PETER Nygard wanted to get his girlfriends pregnant and have abortions so he could use the fetuses for age-defying stem cell research, it was claimed.
The revelation comes as the 79-year-old fashion mogul was charged with sex trafficking after he allegedly abused girls as young as 14.
US prosecutors demanded his arrest in Canada and he faces extradition on charges of sex assault, racketeering and trafficking.
Fifty-seven alleged victims — including a Brit — have also joined ongoing legal action, claiming Nygard used violence, intimidation, bribery and company employees to lure victims.
The tycoon allegedly ended up establishing his stem cell research company on the island of St. Kitts, near his home in the Bahamas.
Cronin alleges the purpose was to use aborted fetuses from his pregnant girlfriends to provide him with fresh stem cells.
“I may be the only person in the world who has my own embryos growing in a petri dish,” he said.
