Dancers and models testify in former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's trial where he is accused of having sex with a minor. Jessica Gray reports.
ITALY-BERLUSCONI SEX TRIAL - Moroccan-born model, Imane Fadil, enters a Milan courthouse. She is testifying in the case against ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who is accused of having sex with a minor.
Berlusconi has denied the charges, saying he gave 45,000 euros to dancer Karima El Mahrouq or Ruby, seen here at a nightclub last year, to start a business and not for sex.
The case does not accuse Berlusconi of soliciting sex with a prostitute because Mahrouq was under the age of majority at the time.
Berlusconi also denies charges he was trying to influence the case against him by abusing his power.
