A woman who says she was raped and trafficked by an associate of the late businessman Mohamed Al Fayed has been identified in court documents as part of an ongoing legal case. The allegations, which include claims of modern slavery, were filed in a UK court in 2025 and have been verified by multiple news outlets including the BBC and The Guardian.
The alleged victim, who has chosen to remain anonymous, stated: 'Lifting the shame that was never mine to carry.' The case involves an associate of Al Fayed, who died in 2023, and is part of a broader investigation into historical abuse linked to the former Harrods owner.
According to verified reports, the woman alleges she was brought to the UK under false pretenses and subjected to repeated sexual assault and forced labor. The Metropolitan Police confirmed they are investigating the claims, though no charges have been filed as of May 2026.
The case has drawn attention to the legacy of Mohamed Al Fayed, who faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct before his death. His estate has not commented on the latest claims.
