Berlusconi Sentenced to 7 Years in Sex Case

A court in Milan on Monday found former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi guilty of paying for sex with a minor and abusing his office to cover it up, handing him a seven-year jail sentence and banning him from public office for life.

Mr. Berlusconi waited more than three hours before posting his disappointment on his Facebook page. “I was really convinced that they would acquit me, because it was impossible to condemn me based on the facts,” Mr. Berlusconi wrote.

Instead they issued an incredible verdict, of untold violence that has never been seen before, in order to eliminate me from the political life of this country. Not only is this a page of bad justice, but it is an offense to all those Italians who believed in me, and trusted my commitment toward this country. But I, once again, mean to resist against this persecution because I am absolutely innocent and I don’t want to abandon my battle to make Italy a free and just country.”

The trial, involving a then under-age woman named Karima El-Mahroug, nicknamed “Ruby Heart-Stealer,” had become the most personal, and tawdry, of Mr. Berlusconi’s many legal sagas. The three presiding judges, all women, handed Mr. Berlusconi a seven-year sentence, tougher than the six years that prosecutors had requested. 

I don't understand this guy, why does young prostituteor sorry, escort athey are sometimes called excitehim. He was a president for heaven sake at the time of this incident.  Man, have some dignity for the office please.
