There is a good chance that the reason he was named in the suit is because he is rich and he is an easy target. They're probably hoping he will pay them some money to be quiet and end the bad publicity.
I'm not denying that children were kidnapped and forced to become camel jockeys, I'm just saying that the Sheikh was not necessarily involved in this practice. It actually sounds like he is the one who is putting an end to the practice in his country.

In HIS country, I doubt much goes on without his knowledge and approval...we will wait and see the evidence (hopefully) but that's a lot of kids to go unnoticed by the government.
