Teenager’s Mohamed Al Fayed sexual assault claim dismissed by police in 1995

Family of Samantha-Jane Ramsay say she made allegation 10 years before police say first complaint was made

Police dismissed a teenage girl who reported an alleged sexual assault by Mohamed Al Fayed in 1995, saying they would add her name to a pile of similar claims.

Last month the Metropolitan police said the first report of sexual assault by the Harrods owner had been made in 2005. After the family of Samantha-Jane Ramsay, who has since died, came forward, the force said it had no computer record of her report but it may have been paper-based and not transferred.
