The 74-year-old is alleged to have given the girl £6,000 as a gift and reportedly called police to free her after she had been detained for theft.
Politicians have demanded Berlusconi’s resignation and he has been lambasted by the Catholic weekly Famiglia Cristiana for lacking ”self-control”.
The saga of the dancer - named in the Italian media as Karima Keyek - has exploded into the latest scandal over the Italian prime minister‘s private life.
Newspapers have been awash with details of parties which the teenager - known on stage as Ruby Rubacuori -allegedly attended at the media tycoon‘s residence.
She has been quoted calling them ”bunga-bunga” parties - an apparent reference to a lewd joke that is taken to refer to some form of sexual activity.
Mr Berlusconi says he helped Karima when she was in trouble with police, but denies interfering with the justice system.
She denies sleeping with the prime minister and told La Repubblica Mr Berlusconi ”behaved like a father”.
She went on to tell Oggi magazine: ”Silvio took me upstairs. He wanted to help me. He told me that he wouldn‘t ask anything in return.
”He gave me an envelope with €7,000 (£6,000) in it and I told him I dreamed of gaining Italian citizenship and becoming a policewoman.”
