Groom Mohamed Fayed reveals how sex predator tricked teenage girls into trotting past him on his horses so he could watch them

A servant who worked for Mohamed Fayed told how the moralist would have teenagers trot past him on his horses so he could watch them.

The woman, just 15 in 1987, was one of a team that cared for the Harrods magnate’s horses. She said he got a kick out of humiliating his staff and making them fear for their jobs.

She revealed that he had tried to persuade her to visit him in London, and that she had to invent a boyfriend to fend off his advances.

She said of working for him: “He was so creepy. He would sit in a tent on his lawn and bark at us to jog past him with his horses so he could see our young bodies bobbing up and down.

“He’d like to see us in our Harrods tops and jodhpurs.”

She said the Egyptian billionaire, who died last year aged 94, went around his Barrow Green estate in Surrey offering money to girls he fancied.

She said: “People were afraid of losing their jobs and upsetting him – and he got satisfaction from that.

“The workers were on tenterhooks, but he feared no repercussions and was the God of his domain.”

The woman said that there were girls who wanted to work for him in London with the promise of success and money. Those girls then became victims themselves.

Of her own predicament, she said: “He knew how young I was, but he still asked me to come to London and visit him when he didn’t have his family around.

“I pretended to have a boyfriend to get out of it.”

She added: “His security, all ex-military police, knew exactly what he was like but we were just told to go along with his behaviour and do what he said. He was ill and wasn’t afraid of comebacks.”

More than 150 women have told how Fayed sexually abused them since the BBC2 documentary Al-Fayed: Predator at Harrods exposed him as a serial rapist.

Bruce Drummond, lawyer for some of the compensation claims against Harrods, said: “This is the worst case of corporate sexual exploitation of young women that I have ever seen, and I think the world has probably ever seen.”

The Public Prosecution Service has confirmed that it failed to charge Fayed on two occasions.

The first time was in 2009, when Prime Minister Keir Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions, and again in 2015 under Dame Alison Saunders.

A spokeswoman said: “To bring a prosecution the CPS must be satisfied that there is a realistic prospect of conviction. In each case our prosecutors carefully considered the evidence and concluded that this was not the case.”

One of Fayed’s sons, Omar, 36, claimed the BBC documentary was intended to distract attention from disgraced former newsreader Huw Edwards, who is now a convicted paedophile sex offender.

He told a friend: “I think the BBC has this in their back pocket.”
Harrods admitted it had settled a number of claims over the past 18 months.

It said: “We are utterly shocked by the allegations of abuse committed by Mohamed Al Fayed… The Harrods of today is a very different organisation to the one owned and controlled by Al Fayed.”

‘150 VICTIMS’ SEEK HELP

It was reported last night that the number of alleged victims of the disgraced Mohamed Fayed who have approached a lawyer is “150 and rising”.

According to a lawyer, the final toll could be higher than the nearly 600 victims police say were abused by BBC pervert Jimmy Savile.

Dean Armstrong KC said the number “could be much, much higher”.

He added: “The tentacles of Fayed’s atrocities… are absolutely enormous.”

He said the Crown Prosecution Service and others who tolerated Fayed’s behaviour had “questions to answer” about the “monster hiding in plain sight”.

Deputy First Minister Angela Rayner said: “What really concerns me… is powerful people who seem to be getting away with it.”

Harrods has set up a special website where women who have been abused by Fayed can claim compensation.
