The scale of Mohamed Al Fayed’s sexual abuse could be similar to that of Jimmy Savile’s, Harrods’ newly appointed survivors’ advocate has told the BBC.
There has been a torrent of allegations against the late billionaire businessman since a BBC documentary in September broadcast the claims of 20 women.
Speaking about her appointment earlier this month, Dame Jasvinder Sanghera said she had been contacted by a former pupil from a school for deaf children.
Al Fayed “had access to vulnerable young women from that school”, she said, adding that testimony she had heard suggested that his “tentacles went far and wide”.
The school told the BBC that as far as it was aware Al Fayed did not have access to the school, and that it takes safeguarding very seriously.
