Harrods has said more than 250 people are part of its process to settle compensation claims over alleged historic sexual misconduct by Mohamed Al Fayed. The London department store said it had “settled a number of claims with women” made against its former owner since last year.

Yet twice she found herself trapped in a room above the luxury Harrods department store in Knightsbridge, central London, as the club’s billionaire owner, Mohamed Al Fayed, tried to “forcefully” kiss her, made her sit on his knee while he stroked her, then groped her when she tried to get out.

The former captain of Fulham's women’s team, Ronnie Gibbons, says she was “groped” on two occasions by the late Mohamed Al Fayed when he owned the club.

A BBC documentary said the Egyptian billionaire, who died last year, had sexually abused female staff at Harrods in London and had threatened them if they tried to complain.

The stores say 250 women alleging sexual misconduct against the late billionaire have come forward since the BBC documentary.

Harrods is in the process of handling over 250 compensation claims from women who allege inappropriate sexual behavior by former owner Mohamed Al Fayed, the luxury store confirmed to the BBC, according to Digi24.
