Harrods owner accused of forcibly kissing teenage girl

Mohammed Al Fayed has been questioned by police after a 15-year-old girl accused the Harrods owner of sexually assaulting her in the Knightsbridge store, by forcibly “French kissing” her in May.

The 75-year-old, who also owns Fulham Football Club voluntarily attended Twickenham police station with his solicitor yesterday and was questioned under caution. The Metropolitan Police said inquiries were continuing but stressed that no arrests were made. Mr Al Fayed’s spokeswoman said he “vehemently denies” the claims.

It has been claimed that MrAl Fayed first met the schoolgirl in May this year when she shopped with her mother in Harrods. He is alleged to have asked for her phone number and invited her back to the store. In her witness statement, the girl told police that when she returned she was invited to Mr Al Fayed’s private office where she was sexually assaulted.

It is alleged he then kissed her on the lips and tried to force his tongue into her mouth.

Oh, but it’s still illegal, you say?
