Five alleged victims of abuse by the late billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed initiated legal actions against his estate, claiming serious sexual abuse and harassment between 1995 and 2012. The women, who worked as nannies and private stewards, report that they faced threats upon attempting to report the misconduct. This legal action follows the exposure of similar allegations in a recent BBC documentary, prompting close to 80 women to share their own experiences of abuse, some dating back to 1977. Legal representatives stress the importance of accountability for the alleged systemic abuse.
Five alleged victims of abuse by Mohamed Al Fayed plan to launch legal action against his estate, marking the first formal claims since a BBC documentary last year.
The women allege serious sexual abuse, harassment, and mistreatment while they worked for Al Fayed as nannies and private stewards between 1995 and 2012.
Lawyer Richard Meeran emphasized the importance of holding Al Fayed's estate legally accountable for the widespread abuse perpetrated against victims, even if unrelated to his store.
Since the documentary aired, the BBC has received accounts from nearly 80 women describing their experiences, with claims originating as far back as 1977.
