Really? He's an old man on trial for paying a beautiful 17-year-old Moroccan girl, Karima El Mahroug, for sex... and there will be a panel of three female judges. I'm worried for him.

Berlusconi dismissed the case as a 'farce'. He might have a point. Dirty old man, attractive late-teens girl. All this needs is a vicar and some patio doors and it would be up there with Molière.
