Summary

For years Peter Nygard held women captive inside the gates of Nygard Cay, where he hosted wild swinger parties regularly and sexually assaulted potentially hundreds and hundreds of women. But today he’s the one being held captive, jailed behind bars – as his victims tell their stories. Episode 2 of Uncle Peter reveals how this sexual deviant became who he is today and what he did to everyone around him - in addition to his rape victims.

Growing up, he was always "Uncle Peter" to me. Peter Nygard was my best friend's uncle, but would one day become the world's most reviled serial rapist. How did it happen? What made him into this monster? We opened up Peter’s secret vault of exclusive pictures, videos, phone calls, messages, memos, letters… even his little black book. Together, we recount the last 40 years... growing up with him... living with him... working for him... and being swept up in the criminal and civil cases that brought down his empire.
