Met Police Knew of Al Fayed Allegations a Decade Earlier, Reports Reveal

New evidence suggests the Metropolitan Police was informed of sexual misconduct claims against Mohamed Al Fayed in 1995, far earlier than previously admitted.

Samantha Ramsey reported being sexually assaulted by Mohamed Al Fayed in 1995, but her allegations were not recorded by the Met due to paper-based reporting systems.
Ramsey's family claims the police failed to act on her report, allowing Al Fayed to continue his alleged misconduct for years.
The Met only acknowledged allegations against Al Fayed starting in 2005, despite earlier reports from Ramsey and others.
The Crown Prosecution Service reviewed evidence in 2009 and 2015 but decided not to pursue charges due to a lack of a realistic prospect of conviction.
A BBC documentary and a survivors' group have brought forward numerous other allegations, with over 400 women reportedly accusing Al Fayed of sexual misconduct.
