Arraignment of a Saudi princess on a charge of human trafficking in the US has been postponed.

Meshael Alayban appeared in Orange County Superior Court today, but her attorney requested a delay and the judge rescheduled the hearing to July 29.

Alayban was arrested after a domestic worker from Kenya alleged she was forced to work excessive hours and was not allowed to leave. The worker said she was hired in Kenya in 2012 and taken to Saudi Arabia, where her passport was taken from her.
