This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Diplomatic offender flees home, nothing comes of it. In Saudi Arabia, he should be beheaded, but he'll probably be promoted.

The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations does have provisions by which the diplomat can be named persona non grata and the sending state must pull the diplomat within a reasonable time or the immunity stops being valid and they can be arrested. Legally speaking the Saudi diplomat leaving the country is perfectly legitimate.

Another section of the Convention states that a sending state can revoke the diplomats immunity and allow the diplomat to be arrested if they feel the diplomat had committed a crime.

Given the hosting and sending states' views and behaviours to women I am not surprised that absolutely nothing came out of this and nothing will.

According to his Wahabi religion, he did not do anything wrong. Expect his government to tell him to keep a better lock on the door next time.
