Five Women Accuse Former Harrods Boss Mohamed Al Fayed of Rape

An investigation has revealed that five women claim they were raped by former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed during their time working at the luxury London department store. The accusations are part of a broader pattern of abuse, with over 20 ex-employees alleging sexual assault, including incidents in Paris, St. Tropez, and Abu Dhabi. Many women describe a culture of fear and intimidation during Fayed’s ownership, with the store accused of enabling and covering up his actions.

Victims recounted how Fayed targeted young female employees, promoted them to positions near him, and then assaulted them at Harrods, his Park Lane apartment, and foreign properties. Some women were coerced into signing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and shredding evidence. Harrods’ current owners have since settled claims and issued apologies, condemning the former owner’s actions and vowing that such abuses will never occur again.

Fayed, who died in 2023, faced allegations during his lifetime but evaded accountability. Now, with his passing, more women are coming forward to share their experiences. Legal action against Harrods continues, as victims seek justice for the trauma they endured.
