A year after his death. Similar to the Jimmy Saville case. It was an open secret that he was a serial rapist. Everyone knew, but let him carry on regardless. Sickening.
Why is this horrific story only breaking now that he's dead? And how about charging his security personnel who intimidated and enabled him to continue abusing?
This affair was pursued many times previously. About ten times over several decades. Cases were always dismissed by police or CPS. Ask why. This man held enormous power socially and financially. He intimidated people and paid off others in aithority. A major investigation was published by Vanity Fair. Fayed litigated but as his son Dodi died around that time, the parties settled (on compassionate grounds, Si Newhouse from Condé Nast). So, no, this has NOT materialised out of thin air. This is another Saville, another Weinstein, another Cosby, another P.Diddy. Finally, a reckoning. But TOO LATE. These men must be charged while they are alive which means authorities having the mettle to pursue them with the full force of the law contemporaneously.
If there’s no evidence, the person and the solicitor who started all this with the victims as you said should be prosecuted for lying to the court of justice and trying to discrediting a deceased person and the attempt to stealing money illegally for compensation.
@rik 'Bunch of women'? There are hundreds of men who were abused by the Catholic Church in its various manifestations; many of these men waited for decades to report crimes perpetrated against them as children or teens or even as young men. It's a recognised phenomenon that abused people, women and men, often feel unable to report abuse at the time it occurred. Besides which, if you had listened to much of the testimony about the Al Fayed scandal, many incidences of sexual assault were reported decades ago. Allegations against Al Fayed have been known since the 1980s.

"We think the new purchaser of Harrods should do the right thing" Imagine buying a new house and you have to pay compensation to the neighbours for the actions of the previous owner.
I don't see why owners of Harrods today have to pay compensation to these women it's nothing to do with them when this was happening he should have been brought to justice and put away for his crimes. If this can be proven I don't know how Diana ever got involved with such a family.
See how fast you people turn on Diana.? These lies can be made by the palace in order to destroy her reputation, as well as al fayeds name. The dirty games of the british establishment are well known. These allegations are lies,made up stories. It is like if I say that Princess D raped me...
You’d think Alfayed estate would be have to pay rather than Harrods which is no longer part of it. I think it’s a lose lose situation for Harrods if they refuse they get more bad publicity even though it wasn’t really the company. You can get Mohamed would have been on his best behaviour around Diana with how much was at stake. Never know Dodi may have been a normal guy.
All the people in comments sections deflecting and defending Al Fayed tonight are Muslim. Same pattern as the the grooming Gs, look after the tribe regardless how vile the crime. Whereas with Prince Andrew, Savile etc nobody from my "community" defends them and actually still won't let the establishment live it down.
Surprised that Harrods is saying they're so surprised. A former neighbour of mine who had worked at Harrods decades ago told me that Harrods had made settlements with various women whom Al Fayed had abused.
I'll be convinced this is true if the so claimed victims waive their compensation, to seek justice in just the truth being outed. As for Gloria Aldred didn't she try and make a case against Michael Jackson, when there wasn't one.
My auntie worked there in the 90’s, I remember she had to go to work with no makeup on, and have it done there to a standard Fayed liked. She had to wear high heels or she would be fired. I just remember she hated it, and my auntie was a tough woman. She also said he used to check whether female staff had good enough bras on - via actually grabbing and checking / bouncing their breasts, he apparently had a neurotic hate for ‘un perky’ looking breasts. Very weird man.

Just like Jimmy Saville right? Are you a pedo apologist too? claims were made in the 90s and the claims were made when he was alive. In December 1997, the ITV current affairs programme The Big Story broadcast testimonies from former Harrods employees who spoke of how Al-Fayed routinely sexually harassed women in similar ways. Al-Fayed was interviewed under caution by the Metropolitan Police after an allegation of sexual assault against a 15-year-old schoolgirl in October 2008. The case was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service. A December 2017 episode of Channel 4's Dispatches programme alleged that Al-Fayed sexually harassed three female Harrods employees, and attempted to "groom" them. Former manager of Fulham L.F.C., Gaute Haugenes revealed in September 2024 that extra precautions were put in place to protect players from Al-Fayed whereby they were not allowed to be left alone with him. What you are doing is reinforcing a harmful stereotype that protects abusers and ignores victims because you can't be bothered to look into something and jump straight to conclusions because you hold a bias that monsters should be allowed to do these things. Nobody listened to the concerns raised about Jimmy Saville until after he died, Labour politicians and councillors and sections of the media had a policy of ignoring complaints about grooming gangs. Girls were "left at the mercy" of grooming gangs for years because of failings by senior police and council bosses, a report in January this year revealed. It also highlights the apparent local authority indifference to the plight of hundreds of youngsters identified as potential victims of Asian men. GMP has apologised. The report also identifies 96 men still deemed a potential risk to children, adding that this was "only a proportion" of the numbers involved in the abuse. Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has since called for disciplinary action to be taken against police officers and council officials who "failed in their duties" as well as some prosecutors in the North West. Mr Burnham described the results of the review as "distressing". Addressing the victims directly, he said: "We are sorry that you were so badly failed by the system that should have protected you." Complaints are made at the time they do but the two tier culture of justice in the UK puts more emphasis on protecting abusers than children.Just like Jimmy Saville was protected and complaints only taken seriously until after he died - he was protected by an elite who favour protecting abusers over keeping children safe
I think this is the biggest lies against this man, after his money, no one bothered before he died, this world is evil, money greeds, imagine 250, can I also come join, maybe the court will believe me, and give me some of the dead man's money, what a shameful nation, why did they not lay charges when he was alive, I do hope God sees these people, and how honest they they are?!????????
And all this comes out only after his death!!!!!!! I don't understand how there can be any justice if he is not here to face the music!!! We just have to take their word that what they are saying is the absolute truth!
Until watching a whole almost 30 minute video this morning, I had only heard the headlines and naturally felt great sympathy for the victims. I spoke up in a couple of other MSM video comments defending that they "didn't come forward until he died". Surely we all know that some would have made complaints and probably have gone to the police but powerful people in the Freemasons do get away with things. So as I mentioned I had great sympathy for them. However, listening to this I cannot fathom why any women would have not walked out of the job at the first even "light" abuse against themselves. Astonishing to me that some continued working for him and even went abroad with him. I know they would have had financial commitments but surely it would have been better to sign on unemployed temporarily or to temp, making up an excuse to prospective new employers a sensible reason for walking off the job at Harrods (prospective employers aren't likely to employ someone who is known to make allegations against someone in a job they just walked out of so a valid excuse would need to be made up). Threats against family would surely have caused them to get away from him as fast as possible? My sympathy would now be only for the women who left asap, and not those who allowed it for years as I wonder if they accepted him as a sugar daddy at the time. If they were in their twenties then they won't have been as naive as a teenager might be. I hate to say that having listened to this I am suspicious that some of the women were complicit and it suited them at the time. All that said, surely any compensation should come out of his estate, and not from the current owners? Why isn't it coming out of his estate?
Face the truth , rapist like many people with power. Starmer who was cps at the made 2 mistakes and not prosecuting him and jimmy Saville. Both from ghe same mould. How many more.
400 to 500 women around the world have made claims against ( al fayed ) why didn't any of these women make complaints to Police or the press years ago there's always one tabloid that likes such a story even if the first 100 came forward thats 400 women who would have being saved from Mr Al fayed and made aware of such accusations and taken a different career path than harrolds it's not victim blaming it's saving those that come after you
They remember after the person passes away! Well done! Wow! Why would you be scared to say back then when he was never liked in the first place. All to make money!
But these women were no longer 18 yo by last year.Why didn't they speak 10 years ago. Wow people will do anything for money.the world is going from bad to worse.
Why were the women never believed back in the day how many people were involved in the cover up including the police why is it always about money never justice
Firstly, I didn't know he was dead, and secondly, there's a bit of that Spanito maverick whose wife didn't know he was a serial killer for fifty years. She's happy of course, like the woman who got the icecream receipt, but isn't it thrilling when they make it?
I think they knew the whole system, but obviously they were all in his pocket, very well paid to keep their mouth shut. I'm glad that there is someone who will do justice to these women who were destroyed forever by an Oligarch, who lived a luxurious life destroying countless LIVES.. THE SYSTEM ALLOWED HIM TO DESTROY THEM😢😢😢
What I want to see is victims coming forward immediately. However, false accusers should be dealt with severely too. In each case of course the "beyond a reasonable doubt" test should apply. I am not in the weeds of this one, but what do the new owners have to do with anything? By all means if they can provide information for an enquiry, all well and good?
You could say the same thing about the Spanish and Portuguese in Central America, the Germans for the Holocaust and other crimes, Russia under Stalin for the Great Terror, China under Mao for the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution, China for Tibet, Uganda under Idi Amin, ISIS in the Middle East, Saddam in Iraq, the Ayatollahs in Iran, the military junta in Myanmar for its prosecution of the Muslim minority, Israel for its treatment of the Palestinians, the French and Americans in Vietnam, the genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda, Saudi Arabia for its bombing of Yemen, and so on, and further in the past, the Roman Empire, the actions of the Mongols under Gengis Khan, the Vikings and so on. The list is almost literally endless, so where would one stop?
What blows my mind is why not bring it up when he was alive I think this is about money. I truly think it’s about money. Shame on you girls. Shame on you ladies.

GMP has apologised.
The report also identifies 96 men still deemed a potential risk to children, adding that this was "only a proportion" of the numbers involved in the abuse.
Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has since called for disciplinary action to be taken against police officers and council officials who "failed in their duties" as well as some prosecutors in the North West. Mr Burnham described the results of the review as "distressing".
Addressing the victims directly, he said: "We are sorry that you were so badly failed by the system that should have protected you."
Complaints are made at the time they do but the two tier culture of justice in the UK puts more emphasis on protecting abusers than children.Just like Jimmy Saville was protected and complaints only taken seriously until after he died - he was protected by an elite who favour protecting abusers over keeping children safe
@@littlemissgroove They needed the money.
@littlemissgroove May I respectfully suggest that you do some reading on grooming/abuse?
Everybody wants money
Well what would you suggest? Bunch of flowers?
Yes, just like the brits did the same for 100s of years in India, Egypt, Native Americans.

So why after 20 years this came up ? Why not report on the day to the police .
*_Mohamed You're-Fayed_*
They called him "M.Fiddy".
Don't worry about a tiny little thing called 'evidence' who cares about that?
I think this is the biggest lies against this man, after his money, no one bothered before he died, this world is evil, money greeds, imagine 250, can I also come join, maybe the court will believe me, and give me some of the dead man's money, what a shameful nation, why did they not lay charges when he was alive, I do hope God sees these people, and how honest they they are?!????????
And all this comes out only after his death!!!!!!! I don't understand how there can be any justice if he is not here to face the music!!! We just have to take their word that what they are saying is the absolute truth!
There were accusations at least 15 years ago but the CPS decided not to take him to court.
Starmer knew what was going on and did nothing.
Who was the Director of Public Prosecutions when it was decided Al Fayed would not be charged over the alleged rape. Starmer by any chance?
Until watching a whole almost 30 minute video this morning, I had only heard the headlines and naturally felt great sympathy for the victims. I spoke up in a couple of other MSM video comments defending that they "didn't come forward until he died". Surely we all know that some would have made complaints and probably have gone to the police but powerful people in the Freemasons do get away with things. So as I mentioned I had great sympathy for them.
However, listening to this I cannot fathom why any women would have not walked out of the job at the first even "light" abuse against themselves. Astonishing to me that some continued working for him and even went abroad with him. I know they would have had financial commitments but surely it would have been better to sign on unemployed temporarily or to temp, making up an excuse to prospective new employers a sensible reason for walking off the job at Harrods (prospective employers aren't likely to employ someone who is known to make allegations against someone in a job they just walked out of so a valid excuse would need to be made up).
Threats against family would surely have caused them to get away from him as fast as possible?
My sympathy would now be only for the women who left asap, and not those who allowed it for years as I wonder if they accepted him as a sugar daddy at the time. If they were in their twenties then they won't have been as naive as a teenager might be. I hate to say that having listened to this I am suspicious that some of the women were complicit and it suited them at the time.
All that said, surely any compensation should come out of his estate, and not from the current owners? Why isn't it coming out of his estate?
Gloria Allred daughter Lisa Bloom represented Harvey Weinstein. She provided them with information about the victims, which was disgusting.
WONDER WHAT MENTAL FACILITY HE STILL HAS PRINCESS DIANA IN
Typical Muslim though
Yes sure Saville was a Muslim too
Is Prince Andrew a Muslim too?
@@newanas5271 are you?
Its criminal with money can't buy justice. God is not sleeping.
FGS! Why now? This report is clearly decades too late; so he got away with it. The corruption in this country is sickening.
How Dare You; accuse this man of doing anything; just to try to Take his 💰💰💰; Shame on all of You!!! 🤮🤮🤮
Face the truth , rapist like many people with power. Starmer who was cps at the made 2 mistakes and not prosecuting him and jimmy Saville. Both from ghe same mould. How many more.
It’s late in moscow
Russians love maney
Shame on you.
400 to 500 women around the world have made claims against ( al fayed ) why didn't any of these women make complaints to Police or the press years ago there's always one tabloid that likes such a story even if the first 100 came forward thats 400 women who would have being saved from Mr Al fayed and made aware of such accusations and taken a different career path than harrolds it's not victim blaming it's saving those that come after you
Lies Lies Lies 🤮
Lol money grab yet again
Just like the brits did the same for 100s of years in India, Egypt, Native Americans.
They remember after the person passes away! Well done! Wow! Why would you be scared to say back then when he was never liked in the first place. All to make money!
So disgusting!
No Alfayed wasn’t a monster, but he was living in abusive country, a country that many of it resident love to accuse and apply for compensation !!!!!!
Can my niece apply as another victim in this case. How much is the estimated compensation?
But these women were no longer 18 yo by last year.Why didn't they speak 10 years ago.
Wow people will do anything for money.the world is going from bad to worse.
I have a female cousins who regularly shopped at Harrods. Is she entitled to anything?
The Devils Advocat springs to mind
One guess who was in charge of the CPS at that time.
While Prince Andrew walks freely...
WILL
HE, give evidence Live or on Camera.
Just a Question
And he didn't work for the BBC?
Why were the women never believed back in the day how many people were involved in the cover up including the police why is it always about money never justice
THE MAN BEHIND EPSTEIN
Like Jimmy Savile, it is so so sad that these events come out after their death.
@@malcolmabram2957 The allegations go back decades. Women/girls went to the police with allegations over the decades.
How many decades ago?

Firstly, I didn't know he was dead, and secondly, there's a bit of that Spanito maverick whose wife didn't know he was a serial killer for fifty years. She's happy of course, like the woman who got the icecream receipt, but isn't it thrilling when they make it?
They do all talk to me. The wives on my walk.
I think they knew the whole system, but obviously they were all in his pocket, very well paid to keep their mouth shut. I'm glad that there is someone who will do justice to these women who were destroyed forever by an Oligarch, who lived a luxurious life destroying countless LIVES.. THE SYSTEM ALLOWED HIM TO DESTROY THEM😢😢😢
Peaceful community
What I want to see is victims coming forward immediately. However, false accusers should be dealt with severely too. In each case of course the "beyond a reasonable doubt" test should apply.
I am not in the weeds of this one, but what do the new owners have to do with anything? By all means if they can provide information for an enquiry, all well and good?
How about the brit gov doing the same for 100s of years in India, Egypt, Native American's?
Stupid comment.
You could say the same thing about the Spanish and Portuguese in Central America, the Germans for the Holocaust and other crimes,
Russia under Stalin for the Great Terror, China under Mao for the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution, China for Tibet, Uganda under Idi Amin, ISIS in the Middle East, Saddam in Iraq, the Ayatollahs in Iran, the military junta in Myanmar for its prosecution of the Muslim minority, Israel for its treatment of the Palestinians, the French and Americans in Vietnam, the genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda, Saudi Arabia for its bombing of Yemen, and so on, and further in the past, the Roman Empire, the actions of the Mongols under Gengis Khan, the Vikings and so on. The list is almost literally endless, so where would one stop?
Is anyone surprised ?
Nope, just like the brits did the same for 100s of years in India, Egypt, Native Americans.
