Prosecutors dropped a human trafficking charge against a Saudi Arrabian princess due to lack of corroboration.

Wow, I am amazed how quickly this ended. You get what you pay for. She has a great lawyer that money can buy. Also, without saying she's connected to a friendly US ally country and BIG OIL.

The $5 million bail money she posted will get returned. (Which is nothing to them)
 
Alayban was in court Friday for an arraignment hearing when Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said investigators were unable to corroborate the allegations, and then moved to have the case dismissed.

"The allegations were strong. We had reasons to believe that they were true, and we were dealing with certainly a family of people who travel the world over and could leave the jurisdiction within a short time, and so I think that bringing the case under the circumstances was the right thing to do," Rackauckas said. "At the time, it did appear that the evidence corroborated what she was saying, but as we looked deeper into it, it just didn't."

Because we all know she was just holding the person passport for their own good.

Most likely that the DA could not corroborate the victim's statements with the four female witnesses that they interviewed.  There is a good chance that those witnesses got bought off.
