WorldIn today's News Table Tennis: Sri Lanka finish at the bottom at 22nd Asian Junior and Cadet ChampionshipROME, AFP -A court in Rome has handed down an unusual penalty to the client of an underage prostitute, ordering him to buy her 30 books on the theme of women's dignity, Italian media reported Friday. The teenagers were lured into the world of sex work with cash which they used to “buy new clothes and the latest mobile phones”, reports said, citing investigators. A copy of the latest court ruling was not available on Friday. Adriana Cavarero, whose “Notwithstanding Plato” was among the books that the judge ordered the accused to buy for the girl, told the newspaper it would be better if the judge had read the works to the convicted man. “Adolescence is not the time for reflection, what he did was much worse: an adult who, knowingly, paid for sex with a minor,” said Cavarero, a philosophy professor at Verona university.
