The managing director of Harrods says the London department store is “deeply sorry” for failing employees who say they were sexually assaulted by late owner Mohamed Al Fayed.

Harrods apologized to its employees on Thursday over the late owner Mohamed Al Fayed's alleged sexual abuse. The London department store was bought by Al Fayed, an Egypt-born businessman, in the mid-1980s.

Ward is asking current and former Harrods colleagues to report further incidents of sexual abuse as the store conducts an independent review of multiple allegations against the late Mohamed Al Fayed.
