Saudi prince arrested at LA mansion for alleged sex crime

Los Angeles police said Majed Abdulaziz al-Saud, 28, was arrested on Wednesday and released the following day after posting a $300,000 (£197,000) bond.

He is scheduled to appear in court on October 19 to face a charge of "forced oral copulation".

Al-Saud does not have diplomatic immunity, police said.

The Los Angeles Times reported a neighbour had spotted a bloodied woman calling for help and trying to climb over a wall surrounding the $37m (£24.3m) estate.

The Saudi Arabian embassy is yet to comment on the case.
