The late billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed has been accused of sexual assault by more than 20 female former employees of Harrods, five of whom accuse him of rape. Al-Fayed, who died last year at age 94, owned the British luxury department store from 1985 to 2010. A BBC documentary released yesterday alleges Harrods failed to intervene and helped cover up abuse claims.


The incidents reportedly occurred at various locations in London, Paris, St. Tropez, and Abu Dhabi, including Harrods' offices, Al-Fayed's London apartment, and properties he owned abroad. Some women allege they underwent medical examinations, including sexual health tests, when starting work for Al-Fayed.


The Egyptian-born businessman, whose son Dodi's relationship with Princess Diana was portrayed in "The Crown," faced additional sexual assault claims in 1997, 2008, and 2017 but was never formally prosecuted or convicted. Harrods' current owners have expressed shock and apologized to the victims.
