Mohamed al-Fayed accused of rape by ex-staff members

The female ex-employees alleged they were sexually assaulted by the billionaire while they were working at the luxury department store in London, with five of them claiming they were raped by him.

One woman who said Fayed raped her at his apartment on Park Lane when she was a teenager branded him a “monster, a sexual predator with no moral compass whatsoever”, describing the staff at Harrods as his “playthings”. She said: “We were all so scared. He actively cultivated fear. If he said ‘jump’, employees would ask ‘how high?’.”
