Met Police have appealed for any ‘potential victim-survivors’ of alleged sexual abuse by Mohamed Al Fayed to come forward.
A spokesperson for Met Police said, “As a result of numerous allegations against Mohamed Al Fayed being reported in the media, we are now asking any potential victim-survivors who may not have come forward before to do so.
“We recognise the significant step many people have already taken in reporting allegations, and know there are many reasons others may have not yet come forward.
“We must ensure every victim-survivor who has reported offences or is considering reporting has the confidence and ability to speak to us.
“Officers are currently making contact with other organisations, including lawyers representing individuals whose allegations have featured in recent media coverage, to ensure they have the opportunity to speak with us and report any offences.
“Additional, specialist support for those who have made contact with us in the past, along with those who come forward, has been put in place and this will continue as our enquiries progress.”
