Samantha Ramsay was 17 when she reported Al Fayed to the Met in 1995 after he groped her in Harrods .

The Met has said its first report dated from 2005 .

Samantha ’s family say the Met dismissed her claims.

They believe multiple women could have been saved from sexual abuse if the force had acted.

Al Fayed sent files of evidence relating to only two women to CPS during his lifetime.

Since September this year , 60 more women have come forward to the Met .

Alfayed was never charged with any wrongdoing.

The CPS has now confirmed to the BBC that it only gave such advice in four cases.
