Survivors of alleged abuse by Mohamed Al Fayed feel let down by police, as advocate Dame Jasvinder Sanghera criticizes the Metropolitan police for their lack of updates and reliance on video communication. Reports indicate that dozens of women have come forward since a BBC documentary aired, with allegations dating back to 1977. DCS Angela Craggs, leading the investigation, has expressed regret that Fayed will not face justice. Survivors experiencing shame and guilt demand more direct communication and reassurance from law enforcement regarding their cases.
Dozens of women have come forward with allegations of abuse by the late Harrods owner going as far back as 1977, with numbers steadily increasing since the broadcast last year of the BBC documentary Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods.
Sanghera told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: They have not been kept up to date. They have not been provided with timelines.
Some of the women had described living with shame and guilt, while others had harmed themselves. She said she did not believe it was too much to ask the police for updates on a monthly basis.
The officer who is now leading the investigation at Scotland Yard, DCS Angela Craggs, is reported to have written to the women to say she was acutely aware the case is especially distressing to all those who have suffered.
