Berlusconi Denies Sex Parties
Former Italian prime minister on trial for allegations of sex with underage prostitute
Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, on trial for allegedly having sex with an underaged prostitute, on Friday denied there had ever been sex games at parties in his villa.
"I can rule out that there have ever been scenes of a sexual nature," the 76-year-old Berlusconi, wearing a dark blue suit, told judges as he addressed the packed Milan courtroom for the first time.
"Everything happened in front of staff and, at times, my children too came in to say hello."
