A former department store owner is said to have raped and sexually assaulted a string of women who worked for the chain.
More than 20 women have claimed they were sexually assaulted by former Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed, five of whom have said they were raped.
The women say the assaults were carried out at the company’s offices, in Al-Fayed’s apartment in London, or on trips overseas.
UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge that Harrods not only failed to intervene, but also helped cover up abuse allegations when Al-Fayed was in charge.
The department store’s current owners say they’re “utterly appalled” by the allegations, and the store sincerely apologises.
