I don't know about this specific case.

But, I will tell you this. The Saudi King and the royal family walk a tight line. They are the Keepers of the Two Great Mosques. The fear is very real that Saudi will be gripped by radical Muslim fundamentalists and the Royal Family overthrown. They walk a fine line between adhering to conservative Islam and their relationship with the West. As a result, things are not always what they seem. The US obviously does not want radical fundamentalist leadership in charge of SA.

I've been to Saudi a few times. You don't want to fool around with the vice and moral police. Even with the Embassy's "I am a stupid American" card one is supposed to give them if one gets in trouble, it doesn't mean that they still won't take a switch or your legs or a can of green paint.
