German playboy Rolf Eden filed charges against a 19-year-old Berlin teenager for refusal to sleep with him, claiming it was age discrimination. According to Eden, both returned to his place after a night in the city. When they were about to have sex, the teenager refused saying Eden was too old for her.

"That was shattering. No woman has ever said that to me before," Eden lamented to tabloid reporters. The 77-year-old playboy known as the king of Berlin nightlife in the 1950s and '60s said the incident "crushed" him.

Aging Eden who popularized stripteases during post-war in West Germany admitted he is old, but the teenager could have been more diplomatic with her refusal through possibly saying "sorry, you're not my type."

Eden filed a case at the prosecutor's office believing the anti-discrimination German laws will be favorable to him.

German courts have seen a rash of age discrimination cases, especially in workplaces where older people are rejected with preference to younger ones.
