A House of Saud Prince was arrested in Los Angeles after a woman who was screaming and bleeding was seen fleeing from his multi-million dollar residence in Beverly Glen on Sep. 23, Wednesday.

A report of a disturbance was the reason that officers were sent to a Wallingford home to investigate. The alleged victim was a worker at the rented property and the alleged assault occurred in Beverly Glen, West Lost Angeles.

The Prince, Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud, aged 29 and a member of the ruling house in Saudi Arabia, was suspected of trying to force the said fleeing woman to perform a sex act on him, according to NBC News.

Drake Madison, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) spokesman, said that Al-Saud was arrested on Wednesday afternoon on three counts. The main charge was forced oral sex of an adult, together with battery and false imprisonment. In line with this case, more women appeared to accuse the prince of the same sex crime.

The jail records show that Al-Saud was booked on Wednesday and then free on Thursday after his bail of $300,000 was paid. The prince's next court date is on Oct. 19. Nevertheless, it was not immediately clear if the alleged suspect would claim diplomatic immunity or whether it could be applied in the case or not.

However, according to The Times of Israel, the Saudi prince does not have diplomatic immunity, which is determined by a dignitary's status in his $37 million rented mansion as well as the level of offense committed in the United States, and yet, the lawyer of the prince could not be reached and no comment was heard from the royal family.

On the other hand, the release of the prince aside from the bail could also mean that he is not truly guilty of the said crime even though there are other victims that surfaced. It can be recalled that there is an ongoing palace coup in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and this alleged crime might be a set up to cause more rift between members of the House of Saud.

The royal family of Saudi, which is known as the ruling House of Saud, has several thousands, perhaps over 10,000 members including the extended kin.
