Saudi prince avoids felony sex assault charges after arrest at Los Angeles mansion

Los Angeles County prosecutors announced late Monday that they will not file felony sexual assault charges against a Saudi prince arrested last month at a compound near Beverly Hills. The Los Angeles Times reported that the prosecutors cited insufficient evidence against Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud, 28. Al-Saud had been accused by a female worker of trying to force her to perform a sex act on him at the Beverly Glen residence. After the prince's Sept. 23 arrest, police said that more women had accused the prince of attacking them, with three suing Al-Saud in civil court.

(9/23/15: A Saudi prince was arrested Wednesday at a compound near Beverly Hills in connection with an alleged sex crime after a bleeding woman was seen trying to flee the grounds. Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud, 28, was arrested on suspicion of forced oral copulation of an adult, according to the Los Angeles Times. Police were called to the gated compound after a caretaker at the home reported the disturbance. Officer Drake Madison told the Times that detectives found "more victims who were also alleging crimes against Mr. Al-Saud.")


Prosecutors referred the case to the Los Angeles city attorney's office, which could still bring misdemeanor charges against Al-Saud. The prince has denied any wrongdoing. "The allegations against him are false," Al-Saud attorney Alan Jackson told the Times. "The decision by the D.A.'s office not to file charges shows that the accuser's stories cannot be substantiated. The sheik is very happy to put it behind him and move on with his life."


The Times reported that Al-Saud has remained in Southern California since his arrest. He was released hours after being taken into custody on $3,000 bail. The civil suit against Al-Saud will go forward despite the lack of felony charges, the women's attorney, Van Frish said. The lawsuit claims Al-Saud inflicted emotional distress, assault and battery, sexual discrimination and retaliation against the workers.


Police had previously determined that Al-Saud did not have diplomatic immunity in the case, despite his royal status. Police said Al-Saud was renting the home, which is valued at approximately $37 million.

James Tracy: "There is sometimes an undue amount of paranoia among some conspiracy researchers that can contribute to flawed observations and analysis."

Gary Cornwell (Dept. Chief Counsel HSCA): "A fact merely marks the point at which we have agreed to let investigation cease."

Alan Ford: "Just because you believe it, that doesn't make it so."

$3000 bail for a multi-millionaire! A poor person would get bail set at tens of thousands to make sure they stayed in jail. Just another case of the dual system of justice - one for the wealthy and one for those who are not.
