Dramatic License? There is no evidence to show that Karl ever had a woman while under his uncle's guardianship although much has been written to blacken Karl's character. We know practically everything that happened because of the note books.
Karl was virtually a prisoner. HIs uncle kept him busy every hour of the day.
