A member of the Saudi Royal Family entourage has been accused of luring two young women back to his room at the Plaza Hotel and raping one of them. Canadian businessman Mustapha Ouanes, 60, who works both for a construction company and the unnamed prince, appeared in court yesterday on charges of first-degree rape, two counts of criminal sexual acts in the first degree, one count of sexual abuse in the first degree, and other charges related to an incident in January 2010. The court heard that Ouanes met two young bartenders in a bar in Manhattan.

I’m inclined to believe the guy was set up, especially after the whole Dominique Strauss-Kahn false-rape fiasco. Come on this is the 21st century and NY city, these two can’t be that clueless about what this guy was after and ya sure a couple of young hot women always go back to some older guys hotel room for no real reason, ya right .... These gals were most likely hookers that were either stiffed or decided that they could squeeze a bit more out of him and things just got away from them.

Yes, NYC barmaids that aren’t students tend not to be rocket scientists. They are usually “aspiring” models or actresses.

From the story, both women willingly ended up in his room/bed after consuming lots of booze and hash. There is no evidence they were forced or carried there. No evidence of violence. It sounds like they had a memory blackout and came back while in his bed. They wouldn’t remember consenting or anything the guy said.

I know many pretty girls here in the city and they tell me the rich Arabs and Persians always offer them things to be one of their “girlfriends”. Houses, BMWs, diamonds, you name it. They are horny old goats with deep pockets. A poor drunk girl that eats ramen and lives in NYC with 5 roommates might go for it. I suspect this might have been the case here.

I don’t like to blame the victim but these girls are old enough to know their limit. If you constantly drink until blacking out, don’t expect any sympathy from me when bad things happen.

I thought the barmaid was a he from the title.

As much as I would like to believe the worst about a member of the Saudi royal entourage... I don’t believe the best about a young woman who drinks and parties with a wealthy stranger and smokes hashish and lies down in his bed.

**They are usually “aspiring” models or actresses.**

In the South, we just call that type sluts or hookers.
