Rome, Dec 21: The teenaged Moroccan at the centre of Silvio Berlusconi's trial for sex with an underage prostitute has had a baby fathered by a nightclub owner more than twice her age, Italian media reported on Tuesday.
Dancer Karima El Mahroug, better known by her stage name "Ruby the Heart-Stealer" , was just 17 when the then prime minister allegedly paid to have sex with her last year, a crime punishable by up to three years in prison.
If convicted, the 75-yearold Berlusconi also faces up to 12 years in prison for abuse of power after he allegedly put pressure on the police to have El Mahroug, now 19, released from custody in an unrelated case.
