Mohamed Al Fayed Accused of Decades-Long Sexual Abuse Involving Over 100 Victims

New investigations reveal systemic failures in addressing allegations against the late billionaire, with police and Harrods taking steps toward accountability.

More than 111 women have come forward with allegations of abuse by Mohamed Al Fayed, spanning a 37-year period from 1977 to 2014 and including victims as young as 13.
The Metropolitan Police are investigating five individuals suspected of enabling or facilitating Fayed's alleged crimes, while reviewing past investigative failures.
Harrods has appointed an independent survivor advocate, Dame Jasvinder Sanghera, to oversee victim support and ensure transparency, with compensation settlements underway for victims.
Criticism has mounted over the Crown Prosecution Service's decisions not to pursue charges against Fayed on multiple occasions, despite victims coming forward as early as 1995.
The case highlights systemic issues within the justice system, including the mishandling of sexual abuse claims and the influence of wealth and power in evading accountability.
