LOS ANGELES, Oct 20, (AP): Los Angeles prosecutors declined to press a felony sexual assault charge against a member of the Saudi royal family because of insufficient evidence, a spokeswoman said Monday.

The district attorney forwarded the case against Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud to the city attorney for a possible misdemeanor charge, spokeswoman Jane Robison said. Al-Saud, 29, was arrested Sept 23 by Los Angeles police at a compound he was renting near Beverly Hills on suspicion of forced oral copulation with an adult.

Defense lawyer Alan Jackson said the decision not to press charges shows the accusations were unsubstantiated. He said the allegations were false and his client has repeatedly maintained his innocence.
