The managing director of the London department store is 'deeply sorry' for failing employees who say they were sexually assaulted by 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.

"The response has simply been enormous... We can confirm that we now represent 60 survivors as part of our claim, with more to come," the lawyers said in a statement.
