The report said the nationalities of the arrested women were not disclosed by the relevant authorities; they have been accused of involvement in prostitution. The Saudi Public Security Department said that after arrest, the women were taken into custody and initial legal procedures were started against them; later, they were referred to the Public Prosecution to complete the necessary judicial proceedings. Relevant authorities in the country are regularly conducting operations to suppress crimes against social values and strengthen community security; these arrests are also part of ongoing security operations.

Prostitution and extramarital sexual relations are legally prohibited in Saudi Arabia; those involved in such crimes are dealt with according to the country's existing laws. If guilt is proven, expatriates may face imprisonment and other punishments, as well as deportation after serving their sentence. However, the authorities have not yet disclosed the possible punishment of the six arrested women or details of the charges brought against them.
