Available for over a year

Dozens of women have accused the former Harrods boss Mohammad Al Fayed of sexual assault. Among them are Jen, Nicole, Gemma, Lindsay and Katherine, who came together for the first time on BBC Breakfast to talk about their experiences and how they have found the strength to speak out after so long. For this episode of 5 Minutes On, BBC Breakfast's Jon Kay shares their stories. Mr Al Fayed owned Harrods between 1985 and 2010 and died last year. The current owners have said they are appalled by the allegations of abuse, while stating that the Harrods of today is a very different organisation. (Image credit: BBC)
