Former Italian PM Berlusconi Sentenced to 7 Years in Underage Sex Case 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been sentenced to
seven years in prison on charges of paying for sex with an underage girl
and using his political position to hide the act. A court in Milan also
barred Berlusconi from ever serving in public office again. Berlusconi
is expected to keep his seat in parliament, however, during an appeal.
