The 37-year-old wife of Silicon Valley real estate mogul Clyde Berg, 74, made the whole thing up about his tying her to a bed and sexually abusing her with a golf putter. That’s what a judge concluded yesterday in dramatically dismissing the case brought by Ellena Berg, the mogul’s estranged Swedish-born wife while ridiculing her story as “not worthy of belief.”
That’s after lots of drama during five days of testimony in which she’d left the witness stand three times under emotional duress, checked herself into a hospital’s mental ward over the weekend, and replied that she didn’t remember at least 44 times while being questioned Monday before Judge Ron M. Del Pozzo had enough. (The undated photo, circulated by Ellena Berg’s attorney, purports to show her after police found her bloodied and bound inside the couple’s home.) Mercury News
