Al Fayed Sexual Abuse Allegations Emerge

News summary

Lawyers representing former Harrods employees have described the late billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed as 'a monster' amid allegations of a vast network of sexual abuse involving at least 100 women over 24 years. A new BBC documentary reveals claims that Al Fayed used his power and wealth to silence victims, including the deployment of aides and former police officers to intimidate them. Five women have accused him of rape, with reports suggesting that Harrods operated as a 'sex trafficking centre' under his management. Despite warnings to the late Queen about Al Fayed's behavior, allegations from the 1990s went unprosecuted, raising serious questions about the failures of the authorities. Legal representatives believe there could be many more victims yet to come forward, urging survivors to share their stories. This ongoing investigation highlights a troubling legacy of sexual exploitation associated with the iconic department store and its former owner.
