British 19-year-old found guilty of lying about being gang raped in Cyprus

"The defendant gave police a false rape claim, while having full knowledge that this was a lie"

Newsroom December 31 10:58

 

She was accused of falsely claiming she was attacked by up to 12 Israeli tourists in an Ayia Napa hotel on 17 July before making a retraction statement 10 days later.

Judge Michalis Papathanasiou, who will sentence her on January 7, told the court: “The defendant gave police a false rape claim, while having full knowledge that this was a lie.

“During her testimony, the defendant did not make a good impression, she did not tell the truth, and tried to mislead the court.”

He said: “There was no rape, or violence, and police had carried out a thorough investigation making all necessary arrests.”

The judge said his decision was backed up by video evidence showing her having consensual sex.
