Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's prime minister, and the young woman he has been accused of paying for sex when she was underage, have both denied any sexual contact.
Karima El Mahroug, a Moroccan teenager who has been nicknamed "Ruby the Heartstealer", appeared on a TV station Silvio Berlusconi founded to deny the claims.
She said Berlusconi paid her $9,500 when she went to a Valentines dinner at his villa, but that "he didn't put a finger on me".
