- Mohamed Al-Fayed, former owner of Harrods, is accused by over 30 women of sexual abuse, including rape and assault.
- Victims describe a systematic pattern of grooming, isolation, and coercion, with incidents occurring globally, including in the UK, US, and France.
- Harrods, now under new ownership, has accepted vicarious liability and initiated a reparations process for affected employees.
