Three US women filed a civil suit in Los Angeles against Saudi prince Majed Abdulaziz Al Saud (29) for allegedly assaulting them and holding them captive during three days of sex-and drug-fuelled partying at a Beverly Hills mansion.
The unidentified women, who filed the suit last Thursday, said they were hired by the prince as housekeepers in late September.
According to AFP, the suit alleges that the prince terrorised the women and made sexual advances that included rubbing himself against one of them and asking another to “lick my entire body.”
When one of the women pleaded with him to stop, he allegedly yelled: “You’re not a woman! You’re nobody! I’m a prince and I’ll do what I want and nobody will do anything to me.”
The women also claimed that they saw the prince being masturbated by another man and sniffing a white powder they believed to be cocaine, the AFP report said.
“Al Saud has violently threatened and sexually assaulted his employees and publicly shamed these innocent women in the public eye,” AFP quoted the women’s attorney Van Frish as saying.
“This is yet another example of the use of gross wealth and power to exert emotional and physical abuse on those more vulnerable,” he added.
Frish said his clients’ painful experience ended when someone called the police after hearing a woman unrelated to the case screaming as she tried to scale the wall of the property. Police arrested the prince for allegedly trying to force that woman to perform oral sex on him.
Citing lack of evidence, authorities in Los Angeles would not pursue felony charges against Al Saud in the case. However, he could still face misdemeanour charges.
