A further 65 women have come forward to the BBC with allegations of abuse by Mohamed Al Fayed going as far back as 1977.

Since the broadcast of the BBC documentary Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods, in which five women claimed to have been raped by the billionaire, more women have come forward with claims of sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape, the BBC reported.
