The Briton, who could be named now she has been found guilty, told police she was gang-raped in Ayia Napa by 12 Israelis aged between 15 and 22. Turning from victim to suspect overnight, the woman was arrested on charges of giving a false statement “over an imaginary offence”. Lawyers for the woman told the court she had only withdrawn her accusations against the men under duress from police. The court, in the town of Paralimni, ruled on Monday that she was guilty of a charge of causing public mischief. In graphic testimony during the court case, the woman told the court the alleged incident took place while she was having consensual sex with one of the group.
