Lady aged
[16 when she was raped by Mohamed Al Fayed
said the assault "changed the course of
my life and career entirely".

Kate (not her real name) said that, while
working at Harrods - her first job - she was also
subjected to inappropriate and "humiliating"
questioning by the billionaire and
an intrusive medical check.

She is one of more than 20 women
who have said the former Harrods owner
sexually assaulted or raped them while they worked
at the luxury London department store.]

Why wasn’t he arrested?..

Maybe that’s why he was denied a British passport with the rumours circulating…but the question still remains…why was this hushed up until his death…just like Jimmy Saville :shrug:

Protected while he was alive.

Cherie 27-09-2024 10:47 PM

He was protected by the Establishment....shame on them

Gusto Brunt 28-09-2024 02:48 PM

I'm gonna be a little controversial here. Call it skeptical. Mystick Mock is right.

He cannot defend himself.

I can accept perhaps he tried to molest a few. A dirty old man trying his luck but we hear hundreds more 'vicims' have come forward claiming molestation and rape or attempted rape.

The whiff of massive compensation maybe. Probably.

Well he came across like he was untouchable,which is exactly how Savile behaved.

People with power & money tend to behave like arrogant bullies, obviously not all ..but those things seem to go hand in hand .


But I agree it's a mess that once again the person is dead ,and 1. He can't defend himself & 2. He can't be arrested anyway :shrug: .

I'm not saying his terror on women wasn't widespread. it might have been. But it might have just been a few women he attacked. We'll never really know for sure.

And like Savile, Fayed cannot be tried in court. Savile was never convicted of anything.

The women were threatened, told they'd never get another job, told their families would suffer. Be as sceptical as you like but when an ordinary young woman is threatened in this way by someone as fabulously wealthy, powerful and protected as him I don't wonder they kept quiet till he died.

By sounds of it ,he was even a bit of a bully towards his own son Dodi .

Bianca Gascoigne says she was groomed and sexually assaulted by Al Fayed…


British model Bianca Gascoigne has said she was groomed and sexually assaulted by Mohamed al Fayed when she worked at Harrods as a teenager.

Warning: This article contains details readers may find distressing

The 37-year-old, who is the daughter of England football legend Paul Gascoigne, had visited the luxury department store in Knightsbridge with her parents when she was growing up and said Al Fayed would be "charming" and bring them gifts.

Speaking publicly about it for the first time on The UK Tonight with Sarah-Jane Mee, she said this meant by the time she joined Harrods aged 16 she felt "safe" in his presence.

However, when she started working for the Egyptian businessman she claimed he would grope her and force her to kiss him during their weekly meetings.

She said she felt trapped and frightened and one night he offered her the Harrods Park Lane apartment to stay in before a flight.

In an emotional interview, Gascoigne said: "[Al Fayed] turned up at the apartment to my shock, I was just gobsmacked, I was kind of very shell-shocked.

"I just didn't really know what to do, he came in and then he sat me down on the sofa... he got his privates out and got my hands and was trying to manoeuvre them on his parts.

"When that didn't work he was trying to force my head on to his lap.

"And I don't know how but I managed to wiggle away.

"And I think possibly you know, that him knowing my parents... I don't know, that might have saved me at that moment. But it was horrific."

A string of allegations against Al Fayed have emerged since the release of an investigation by the BBC. He died last year aged 94.

The Metropolitan Police said it had recorded 60 allegations against Al Fayed since the BBC documentary, including claims of rape and sexual assault. Those are in addition to the 21 women who went to the police between 2005 and 2023 with sex crime allegations against the businessman.

On Monday Harrods said more than 250 people are part of its process to settle compensation claims over Al Fayed's alleged sexual misconduct.

400 victims? Yeah right. Let's be honest here, a huge percentage of those claims are trying their luck getting free money.

I'd bet there's only about 10 women he may have assaulted at the most. He was a very very very rich man. He didn't need to put his hand up any woman's skirt. He could have women legally at the drop of a hat.

These money grabbers are even bigger than the scandal itself
