FILE -- In this May 9, 2009 file photo Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi reacts during a news conference at Rome's Chigi Palace premier's office. A high-end prostitute says she has proof she spent the night at Silvio Berlusconi's Rome residence - after a party that allegedly featured the premier's wisecracks, his cabaret crooning, and a bevy of sexy women. As Berlusconi is forced into a denial, there are signs of trouble ahead for the once teflon premier: prosecutors are examining images Patrizia D'Addario allegedly took of his bedroom and telephone recordings of him allegedly sweet-talking her - and the Roman Catholic Church is warning the 'limits of decency' have been breached.

Now come allegations from a high-end prostitute that she spent the night at his residence and can prove it.
