An appeals court judge in Milan
said prosecutors had demonstrated that women sold sex at Silvio
Berlusconi's "bunga bunga" parties in a document filed Thursday
explaining why the ex-premier was cleared of criminal charges
related to sex with an underage Moroccan dancer known as Ruby
the Heartstealer.
"The acts of sexual nature publicly consumed during the
evenings and at Arcore can be regarded as having achieved
certain proof as licentious performances" such as "strip
dances", "lap dances", "simulation of sexual acts", "touching of
the breast, buttocks or other intimate parts (covered or naked),
group dips in the pool, kisses", the judge wrote.
These sexual acts, which included "flirting", for the "way
and circumstances in which they were carried out, were clearly
directed at stimulating the sexual lust of the owner of house
(and his eventual male guests) and to procure favours in the
form of donations or other benefits (payment of rents and bills,
purchase of automobiles, jewelry; financing slush funds or work
opportunities in show business".
The "greater earning power of staying the night" in
Berlusconi's company was "particularly coveted by the girls",
the court found.
The sexual acts must be seen "juridically within the
typology of sexual acts for payment which constitutes
prostitution".
