Another says she
was made to watch while a different male aide bent over and broke wind in
Al Saud's face – apparently at his request.
The revelations
about Prince Majed come a day after it was revealed that Los Angeles District
Attorney has decided to drop felony charges against the 29-year-old due to lack
of evidence.
Instead, the case
has been passed to LA city attorney Mike Feur who will now decide whether to
pursue misdemeanor charges – which could lead to a year in jail and a $3,000
fine should he be convicted.
But lawyers for
the women bringing the civil case say they are determined to succeed.
'You are going to
go upstairs. I will be there in two minutes and you'll do whatever I want. If
not, then I'll kill you.'
The women, all of
whom are married with children, say they still have not been paid by the prince
and are hoping to recover their lost earnings.
The women's
claims stem from a period between September 21 and September 25 – when Al Saud
was arrested – and all took place at the Wallingford Drive mansion.
The women had
been employed by the prince to care for the house during his American holiday,
although he also brought with him three friends and a group of butlers and
other staff.
On September 21,
Al Saud threw a party at the property and arranged for 'multiple escorts' to
attend.
During the course
of the evening, he became 'increasingly intoxicated' and was seen engaging in
'illicit drug abuse' by the three women.
According to the
women, this was cocaine – a conclusion they arrived at after seeing white
powder around the rims of his nostrils and his 'abnormally dilated' pupils.
The following
evening, September 22, he held a second party where he 'continued to engage in
heavy drinking, cocaine use and more escorts came to the residence'.
That night, Al
Saud is alleged to have 'violently' grabbed the first woman's hand 10 times and
shouted 'I like you!' before insisting that she remain beside him at all times.
Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz (left) was convicted in 2009 of the sexually
motivated killing of his Sudanese manservant Bandar Abdulaziz (right)
He also threatened her, saying: 'Tomorrow I will have a party with
you and you will do everything I want or I will kill you.'
The following day
came the incident in which he attempted to urinate on the trio but was dragged
away by an assistant before he could do so.
The women claim
they attempted to hide in the dining room but 10 minutes later, found
themselves once more subjected to Al Saud's bizarre behavior, including the
incident in which he rubbed himself 'in a sexual manner' against the second
woman.
According to the
document, she attempted to reason with him, saying 'I'm a woman', only for Al
Saud to turn around and scream: 'You're not a woman, you are a nobody! I'm a
prince and I will do what I want and nobody will do anything to me!'
The women, by
then hiding on a balcony, were spotted by one of Al Saud's assistants who
screamed at them to get back to work, adding that they must be with the prince
at all times and were not allowed to have breaks.
By now in tears,
the trio pleaded with the aide, telling them they were terrified of Al Saud,
having already seen him physically abuse his butlers by pulling their ears,
punching them in the face and by throwing things.
Again told to
return to work, the second woman then approached Al Saud to pour him a drink –
only to be subjected to a violent assault that left her badly bruised.
The women then
attempted to leave the mansion but discovered they had been locked in by Al
Saud's aides and were told they were not allowed to leave.
It was then that
the royal threatened to kill the third woman, telling her: 'You are going to go
upstairs. I will be there in two minutes and you'll do whatever I want. If not,
then I'll kill you.'
Al Saud then, it
is alleged, became even more agitated and began to 'scream and make animal like
sounds'.
At this point the
women managed to leave the house but without their personal possessions –
forcing them to return the following day.
Once there, they
were told that Al Saud had 'slept off' the drugs and alcohol he had consumed
and would not bother them anymore.
However, after
telling aides they did not want to continue working for the prince, they were
threatened with forfeiting their wages and were again locked inside the house
on the grounds that the royal needed '24-hour service'.
When they did
finally encounter the prince again, he was, say the women, being masturbated by
another man who was 'stroking his penis'.
But when they
attempted to leave the room, the 29-year-old spotted them and ordered them to
stay and watch.
The first woman
was also ordered to stop and watch as a different aide passed wind in Al Saud's
face - again after stumbling upon the prince and his retainers in a room at the
mansion, the documents say.
She was also
asked to 'lick my whole body' by Al Saud in exchange for payment and says he
became aggressive when she refused.
Their ordeal
finally ended after police were called to the house where the prince's
girlfriend, who he had earlier accused of having sex with another man in the
bathroom of a club the previous evening, and the original complainant were
found covered in blood, crying and shaking.
Al Saud was then
arrested and led away by the LAPD, allegedly
screaming: 'No news!' at onlookers as he was bundled into a police car.
Of the civil
case, the prince's lawyer, Alan Jackson, said: 'I will not dignify these
salacious allegations - which the District attorney found to be unsupported by
evidence - with a response.'
Yesterday, he
said of the criminal case: 'The decision by the D.A.'s office not to file
charges shows that the accuser's stories cannot be substantiated.
'The sheikh is
very happy to put it behind him and move on with his life.'
Despite being one
of an estimated 35 children born to Saudi Arabia’s late King Abdullah, Al Saud,
who holds no official post, has nonetheless been tasked with high-level duties
in the past.
In photos taken
earlier this year, Al Saud can be seen welcoming dignitaries to Riyadh
following the death of his 90-year-old father.
One shows him
welcoming Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Makhtoum, who also holds
the titles of Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, to the Saudi
capital.
The two are
followed closely by 66-year-old Sheikh Mohammed’s son and heir, the popular
Crown Prince Hamdan, 32.
A further photo
shows him greeting Turkey’s controversial president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, 61,
on the tarmac at King Khalid International.
The pictures are
significant because they show the esteem in which Al Saud is held in his native
land – and by his father and extended family.
Saudi Arabia is
home to thousands of princes, although those from the royal branch of the House
of Saud take most of the high level roles.
Regardless, all
posts in the kingdom within the gift of absolute monarch King Salman, 79, who
has appointed members of his immediate family to key roles since taking the
throne.
One especially
striking appointment was that of Defense Minister – a post handed to his
30-year-old son Prince Mohammed, who was also made deputy crown prince.
The current Crown
Prince is Mohammed bin Nayef, 55, the Interior Minister and a nephew of
Salman’s.
With the
succession decided for two generations, the chances of Al Saud being given a
more prominent role are small – even more so following his arrest last month.
Whether another
job will be forthcoming depends on the views of King Salman and his advisors,
although with thousands of royals to choose from, nothing is guaranteed.
