Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- A German woman and two California lawyers have been charged with extortion for allegedly accusing the son of a wealthy Saudi sheikh of sexual assault and torture . Leyla Ors , 33 , told Los Angeles detectives last March that Thamer Albalwi , 23 , had raped and tortured her . He was arrested and charged with four counts of sexual assault based on her story and a physical exam , according to the Los Angeles district attorney .
