So Silvio Berlusconi is to go to trial and be presided over three women judges, for having sex with a 17year old prostitute. (three women judges? don't fancy his chances somehow).

I don't in anyway condone this Italian's sexual lifestyle, but isn't it ironic that such a high-flyer in Italian politics can be sent for trial for a string of sex scandals, yet certain other World leaders can get off scot free for invading countries and causing the deaths of thousands upon thousands of people?

Owns half the Media in Italy and the Fools follow. Remind you of anybody in England ?

He said, "Better to love beautiful women than to be gay".

Perhaps that should be amended to "better to love beautiful non-prostitute women who above the age of consent than to be gay".

He has great hair though.

Dirty..dirty...dirty old man !

I thought they said she was underage? whats the age of consent in Italy?

[MrJabezClegg]

14 but It is also illegal to pay anyone under 18 for sex he would be knackered in Manchester there are plenty of 14 and 16 year olds working the streets.

[ummmm]

I don't think 3 women judges would make a difference.

The Italian have voted him into power again and again despite accusations against him for his Mafia connections and sexual activities over a period of years. He has changed the law and the constitution to give himself immunity . His power is enormous especially through his control of the media and the judiciary. Money can buy almost anything in Italy as anyone who does business in Italy can verify. He stands a very good chance of getting away with it whatever the gender of the judges.

He's Italian what more can you say.....

Remember the Greek vs Italy Debate

Greek - we have Plato and Socrates
Italian - we have Cicero, Lucretis, and Plutarch

Greek - we have great matheticians - Pythagoras, Thales and Euclid
Italian - and we have Archytas and Archimedes who took it on

Greek we brought the world great poets - Thespis and Homer for example
Italian - and we lifted it to a new elevation with Horace, Ovid and Virgil

Greek - well we introduced sex to the world
Italian - and we introduced it to women.

Don't fancy his chances with women judges?

Because ... what AOG?

Come on - you are not known for beating around the bush - if you want to make a grossly sexist and inappropriate remark in your post, just come right out with it!

[sandyRoe]

What is the age of consent in Italy? Does anyone know?

[joggerjayne]

It's Italy.

They don't have fair Courts in Italy.

Never have. Never will.

They are the kangaroo Court nation of the EC.

LOL

Andy...I agree with AOG sexist or not. They will certainly have a maternal view of the situation rather than a paternal view.

Is it illegal to have sex with a 17year old prostitute in Italy?

"beating around the bush",Andy.....oooooh,missus....

[ummmm]

Age of consent is 14.

I think his hair always looks a bit suspect - I'm guessing he uses one of those spray on syrups...............
