Prosecutors in Los Angeles, California dropped all charges against 29-year-old Saudi Prince Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud on Monday, Oct. 19. The late King Abdullah's son -- according to the Daily Mail -- was arrested last month after being accused of committing sexual assault presumably carried out at a residence in Beverly Hills.
A female caretaker of the residence accused the prince of trying to force her to perform a sex act. Neighboring residents reported seeing a bleeding woman screaming for help as she tried to scale an eight-foot wall that surrounded the home.
Following his arrest, three more women filed civil lawsuits against him for “extreme,” “outrageous,” and “despicable” behavior.
According to prosecutors, the alleged victims did not present enough evidence to proceed with felony charges; therefore, the case was referred to the Los Angeles city attorney’s office for misdemeanor offenses. Shortly thereafter, the Saudi prince was released on a $300,000 bail and has remained in Southern California since.
Alan Jackson, the prince’s attorney, has said that, “the allegations against him are false…The decision by the DA’s office not to file charges shows that the accuser’s stories cannot be substantiated. [He] is very happy to put it behind him and move on with his life.”
