More than 20 women have accused former Harrods owner Mohammad Al Fayed of sexual assault, including five who say they were raped. The ex-employees, all female, said the Egyptian billionaire had assaulted them while working at the world-famous London department store.

The high-end London department store, Harrods, said Thursday that it is “utterly appalled” by allegations of abuse – including rape – perpetrated by its former owner, the late billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed.
