Prosecutors in Los Angeles, US, say they will not press charges against a Saudi prince accused of sexual assault.
Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud, 28, was arrested last month on suspicion of forced oral copulation with a worker at his Beverly Hills mansion.
But prosecutors say they do not have enough evidence against Mr Al-Saud.
Mr Al-Saud’s lawyer, Alan Jackson, said his client was innocent and claimed the case was “some kind of shakedown for money”.
The case has been forwarded to the city attorney for a possible misdemeanour charge.
