Silvio under fire

Though apparently true, the sex-party charges against the rich Italian politician are as obviously trumped up as the murder charge against the Pakistani doctor who helped the CIA get bin Laden - though the latter is false.

Who seriously thinks persecution of consensual sex, for cash or gratis, is a sensible use of scarce law enforcement resources?

Is it illegal in Italy for a man of his then age to pay a 17 year old girl for sex?

Well, I suppose it's good the law draws a line somewhere, voluntary sex among those above and among those below being lawful, but not across that line.

Or we, like the Muslims, would see temporary "marriages" of 70 year old clergymen to 9 year old girls.

All the same, how often does the law punish a case so close to the line, as I suppose it must be, in Italy?

His enemies have been after Silvio for a long time.
