Italian judge adjourns Berlusconi trial
An Italian judge has adjourned the trial of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on charges of paying for sex with an underage prostitute until May 31, “Voice of America” writes.
Berlusconi also faces charges of using his influence to cover up the incident.
Prosecutors say Berlusconi paid a 17-year-old Moroccan girl known as Ruby for sex at his villa. They say he later tried to have her released from police custody when she was arrested for theft out of concern she would reveal their relationship.
The prime minister has denied the accusations.
