MORE than 150 women have now come forward to say they were attacked by sex beast Mohamed Fayed.
London’s Met Police said yesterday it had recorded 40 fresh claims, including of rape and sexual assault, by the late Harrods and Fulham FC owner between 1979 and 2013.
And lawyers acting for women abused by Fayed are now representing 116.
The Justice for Harrods Survivors Group was acting for 37 women last month but numbers have soared since Fayed was outed in a BBC2 documentary on September 19.
The Met said the 40 new claims were on top of the 21 allegations the force was aware of before the programme aired.
Police Commander Stephen Clayman said: “While the majority of information we have received relates to Al Fayed’s ownership of Harrods, we are contacting representatives of other organisations linked to Al Fayed to ensure anyone affected is identified and has the opportunity to speak with us.”
Cops are also probing claims against people who facilitated the late Egyptian tycoon’s crimes.
The Justice for Harrods group yesterday revealed they had now been contacted by more than 300 women around the world.
Its legal team said victims had reported attacks throughout Fayed’s empire, including at Fulham FC and on his family’s Surrey estate.
The lawyers said the women’s testimony had been “harrowing”, with “unspeakable abuse” after taking up dream jobs at Harrods’ West London store.
Fayed died last year aged 94.
