Ex-Harrods boss Mohamed Al Fayed’s accusers speak out | BBC News

Five women who have previously worked for Mohamed Al Fayed, the former owner of luxury department store Harrods, have told BBC Breakfast their stories of abuse.

It’s after a BBC investigation exposed decades of serious sexual abuse allegations against Al Fayed, who died last year aged 94.

One of his accusers said women working at Harrods were like "lambs to the slaughter" during the years Al Fayed was able to use his London department store to carry out abuse at will.

Lindsay was one of five women who shared their story, and discussed the night she says she was drugged and subjected to an attempted rape during a work trip to Paris.

Women who say they had “intrusive” medical tests while working at Harrods are also making a complaint to the regulator about a doctor.

A woman, known as Natacha, says the examinations carried out by Dr Ann Coxon were "wholly unnecessary".

Dr Coxon has been approached for comment. A General Medical Council spokesperson said the allegations relating to the medical staff were "deeply concerning".

Harrods has already reached financial settlements with the majority of people who have approached them since 2023, and has had new inquiries this week.

The company is accepting vicarious liability for the actions of Fayed, and there are no non-disclosure agreements attached to the settlements.

Harrods’ current owners said they were "utterly appalled by the allegations of abuse perpetrated by Mohamed Al Fayed".
