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.

The late Mohamed Al-Fayed has been accused of rape by five women who worked for Harrods in a new BBC investigation, drawing attention to his royal connections.

Fayed, the late Egyptian billionaire and owner of Harrods whose son died with Princess Diana, has been accused of rape by multiple women.
