Thirty-seven women have accused the late Mohamed al-Fayed, former boss of the London department store Harrods, of rape and sexual assault as their lawyers say they expect “many more” to come forward with civil claims.
Speaking at a news conference in London on Friday, lawyers representing the women described the Egypt-born businessman, who died last year at the age of 94, as a “monster” who abused women and girls he employed during the 25 years that he owned the high-end store from 1985 to 2010.
