74-Year-Old Man Chains His Pregnant Wife To The Bed At Gunpoint And Rapes Her With Golf Club For Two Days

A Silicon Valley real estate magnate
has been accused of putting a spiked
dog collar and leash on his pregnant
wife before chaining her to the bed at
gunpoint for two days and raping her
with a golf putter.
Details of the alleged horrific incident
emerged in court this week during 74-
year-old Clyde Berg's preliminary hearing
on charges of corporal injury of a spouse
and sexual penetration by force.
His Swedish wife Ellena Berg, 37, was
found bloodied and bound in the
couple's San Jose home last year when
she was nine-months pregnant and told
police her elderly husband outfitted her
with the leash and chained her to the
bed while sexually assaulting her with
the golf club.
Berg is not the father of her child.
She took the stand yesterday at Santa
Clara County Hall of Justice to present
her version of events to a judge who
must now decide if there is enough
evidence to hold Berg over for trial.
The real estate magnate - who is worth
$200 million - vehemently denies the
charges and claims he's the victim of a
scam to get around a restrictive
prenuptial agreement.
He faces 15 years to life in prison.
During her testimony yesterday, Ellena
shocked the court by refusing to answer
to key questions - one about a night in
2010 when she was arrested on
suspicion of domestic violence and how
her two previous pregnancies ended.
It was reported that when the 37-year-
old said, 'I refuse to answer that', in
response to one of the questions, the
judge's eyes widened.
The Swedish native has claimed in a 43-
page civil suit that the incident capped
off ten years of physical and sexual
abuse at the hands of her husband.
The divorce papers state that Clyde Berg
wielded his considerable power against
her like 'a weapon of mass destruction'
and claim she lived in virtual isolation 'as
a slave' in fear of his unpredictable
physical and sexual abuse.
She said he made her drink out of a
dog's water bowl and dunked her head
in the toilet after she vomited from
morning sickness.
There have already been doubts raised
about her account of what happened on
the night of September 4 after
gynecological reports that arguably show
Ellena Berg did not sustain the degree of
sexual abuse she claims and questions
were raised as to how she was able to
call 911 while her hands were cuffed
behind her back.
Clyde Berg is the brother and business
partner of billionaire Carl Berg, one of
the richest people in the United States.
Ellena Berg has also obtained a
restraining order against Clyde Berg and
has custody of Rudy, the couple's
beloved Weimaraner, whom she claimed
was also abused by her estranged
husband.
She is his third wife.
