Harrods ex-employee: 'It was an open secret'

Available for over a year

Five women say they were raped by former Harrods boss Mohamed Al Fayed when they worked at the luxury London department store. The ĢƵ has heard testimony from more than 20 female ex-employees who say the billionaire, who died last year aged 94, sexually assaulted or raped them. Harrods’ current owners said they were “utterly appalled” by the allegations and that his victims had been failed - for which the store sincerely apologised. ĢƵ Radio London's Salma El-Wardany spoke to a caller who described her experience whilst working at the store. (Image credit: Getty Images)
