Al Fayed sex abuse victim recalls how Harrods boss paralysed her with fear. Source: BBC
Transcript
00:00We would be sent to see Al-Fayed because he had a job for us to do.
00:09It was always more of a friendly chat than actual work, but then these private meetings
00:13turned into more.
00:15A forced kiss, his hands gripping your face to his lips, or pulling you down on his lap
00:21where his hands were free to explore any part of your body that he wished.
00:28These incidents lasted seconds, but the fear instilled left me paralysed.
00:33Al-Fayed brushed off these moments like they had never happened, but I was always reminded
00:38not to mention them to anyone.
00:41He would know if I did.
00:44I had never experienced anything like it before.
00:47I was so young, I didn't know what to do and how to deal with it.
00:50I felt such fear and some sick loyalty as his employee.
