An investigation into an allegation that Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, one of the world's richest men and News Corp's second biggest shareholder, raped a woman has been re-opened.

The prince was accused of drugging and raping a young model on a yacht in Ibiza in 2008 but the inquiry was closed last year on the orders of a magistrate who decided there was too little evidence.
Rape allegation for News Corp's Saudi investor - Europe, World - The Independent

From what I've read about the Saudi ruling family (psychopaths); I won't be surprised if this was true.

Um,. This guy considers himself the change Saudi Arabia needs. He advocates woman's rights in S.Arabia. This is not the first time he has been accused of rape.

The guy is just sick and this is the man who owns a lot of American companies through shares. Not a good thing.

Lets see....

#1, Different culture, different mores.

#2, In America one is innocent until proven guilty.

I guess either:

A. You don't like rich people

-or-

B. You don't like people from Saudi Arabia.

In your country are people guilty when they are accused of something?

Stop judging other cultures...to you rape might be unacceptable,but perhaps in their culture it isn't.

No need to be bigoted towards differing cultures.
