Mohamed Al Fayed is alleged to be a serial sexual predator. His sexual abuse, which has been under the spotlight for years, was not confined to his time as chairman of the luxury department store Harrods, according to lawyers for women who claim he assaulted them.

Lawyers representing a group of women who claim they were sexually assaulted by Mohamed Al-Fayed revealed details of the alleged abuse at a press conference in London on Friday, Sept. 20

LONDON (Reuters) - High-end London department store Harrods has apologised over allegations its former owner, Egyptian billionaire businessman Mohamed Al Fayed, raped and sexually assaulted several female ex-employees.

The London high-end store is now a ‘very different organisation’ from its time under the Egyptian billionaire.

It is 33 years since Catherine and Natacha left Harrods, and more than a year since their abuser Mohamed Fayed died, yet one emotion still grips them as they talk about their former employer: fear. It takes immense courage for anyone who has suffered sexual abuse to talk about it in public,
