Mohamed Al Fayed is alleged to have raped and sexually assaulted more than 20 female ex-employees at his luxury London department store, according to claims on a new bombshell podcast. The former Harrods employees claim the Egyptian businessman, who died in August last year aged 94, is said to have sexually abused and raped them. Fayed was known as the eccentric owner of Harrods when he took over in 1985 and appeared on entertainment TV shows in the 90s and 20s His son Dodi, became well known in his own right over his relationship with Princess Diana.
Dodi would die alongside the Princess of Wales and their driver, Henri Paul, in a Paris tunnel on August 31, 1997. Harrod's boss Fayed faced groping and sexual assault allegations as well as one claim of rape which was investigated by police in 2015 but did not lead to any charges. According to their accounts, the sexual assaults happened in London, Paris, St Tropez and Abu Dhabi.
The BBC heard testimony from Fayed's former employees who gave harrowing details of his alleged sex attacks. The allegations will be heard tonight as part of a podcast and feature on BBC Sounds and iPlayer. One woman said Fayed raped her in his Park Lane flat, adding: "I made it obvious that I didn't want that to happen.
I did not give consent. I just wanted it to be over." Another woman claimed she was a teenager when Fayed raped her at the same flat in Mayfair.
"Mohamed Al Fayed was a monster, a sexual predator with no moral compass whatsoever." Whil.
