'It's on a scale of Epstein': Ex-Harrods employee on alleged Mohamed Al Fayed abuse | BBC News

Carrie Lazell says she was groomed and sexually abused by the late Harrods boss, Mohamed Al Fayed, when she worked at the store as a young adult.

Speaking to Victoria Derbyshire on BBC Newsnight, Carrie said "he started to groom me and made me feel like I was slightly special."

Multiple women have accused Fayed, who owned the luxury store between 1985 to 2010, of rape and sexual assault.

In a statement, Harrods said they continue to support the bravery of all survivors of Fayed’s ‘appalling’ abuse, and say their priority is to settle claims in a trauma-informed way.
