LONDON: The late Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed sexually abused female staff at his London department store Harrods, forced them to have medical screenings and threatened consequences if they tried to complain, lawyers for alleged victims said on Friday.

Mohamed Al Fayed would tell his female staff to call him “Papa.” Some 37 women are now accusing the Egyptian billionaire of sexual assault and in some cases rape, including six Americans and one woman who gave an exclusive U.
