Sep 19, 2024, 10:28 AM
Mohamed Al Fayed, the late former owner of Harrods and Egyptian billionaire, has been accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple women who were his employees at the luxury London department store. A BBC documentary reveals that more than 20 women have come forward with allegations, with five specifically accusing him of rape. The accusations detail a pattern of behavior where Al Fayed would identify young female assistants he found attractive and then sexually assault them. The alleged incidents occurred while he was the owner of Harrods, a position he held for over 25 years. Al Fayed, who passed away in 2023, is unable to respond to these allegations. One of the accusers, Gemma, shared her story on BBC Radio 4, describing the lasting impact of the assaults. The documentary also suggests that Al Fayed covered up the allegations during his tenure. Additionally, Al Fayed was known for owning Fulham FC.
