She tried to ruin the lives of 12 young men and is being prosecuted

her word vs 12 young men

just saying, she's way outnumbered of course they are gonna believe those guys more than her


before she's prosecuted they need to look for strong evidence, has she been filmed, and did she agree to being filmed or not

if she didn't agree to being filmed, those young men can still be charged, i hated those smug looks on their faces when they were released :bored:

The woman has allegedly confessed that she had made a false rape claim, state broadcaster Cybc reported, citing police sources

I personally think that secretly filming a consensual sex act should actually be classed as a form of sexual assault anyway.

100%

ALL this means is that she's said "Never mind I don't want to pursue this, I made it all up can I go home now" which is speculation yes but wouldn't be unusual when someone feels like they aren't being believed, especially so far from home. She perhaps naively thought that if she "took it back" it would all just be over.

100% agree with that TS

Ithink they confronted her with some evidence about one of the accused she said was part of the "rape" and showed her a timestamped pic of him in bed with his girlfriend and she caved (from the Cyprus Mail)

if she changed her mind and decided not to proceed with the whole thing,it's unlikely the police would follow it up with a prosecution, unless there were grounds to do so. We will find out in due course. There is no point getting angry over speculation.

yup, that's literally all we can do now, speculate

i think she might be facing a huge fine, if the evidence is good enough to presecute her but that's again speculation

girl has to stay in custody for a while longer


she will appear in court again today

she can get 1 year in prison and a fine


''She stood grim-faced during the session, without speaking. Her mother was also present.''

It seems like she was forced to sign a dodgy confession

A British teenager, who claimed she was gang raped in Ayia Napa, has been held in prison after police forced her to retract the allegations, a UK legal group has said.

According to messages Justice Abroad said were published in media reports, the 19-year-old woman said officers forced her to sign documents, thought to be a confession, and threatened to arrest her friends if she refused.

Previous reports said the teenager had changed her story and told police she had made up the claims.

The teenagers she alleged raped her appeared in court, but five members of the group have since returned home to Israel.

In a statement, Justice Abroad, who are supporting the teenager, said: "Reports by the Cypriot police that the teenager has voluntarily recanted her rape allegation are denied by the family.

"According to the family members, what in fact occurred, was that the teenager was taken by the Cypriot police to the police station at around 6.30pm whilst on medications.

"She was asked to provide a further statement in regard to the rape allegations.

Is she taking tips from Jay from the Inbetweeners or something?

Jay: Don't you even know about foreign police? Basically, if you misbehave
and don't have the money to bribe 'em, they take you up to these shepherds' huts in the hills, beat you up and bum ya.

Neil: And if they don't kill ya, you kill yourself,cos of the shame of getting a boner
whilst you was being bummed.

Will: Right, couple of things. Firstly, the hills here are full of timeshares,
not deserted shepherds' huts. Secondly, [Greece]'s in the EU, so I think the standard of policing probably goes beyond bumming and forced suicide.

Cyprus is a corrupt place, nothing would surprise me

Well well well...
I hope this girl gets some kind of justice, something just didn't ring true from the get go. Why would Israeli diplomats decend for a start...where were our diplomats. ..or a solicitor come to that?

...yeah the change of story so quickly was never something that sat quite right, Kizzy...it’ll be interesting to see what happens now...

Trial still ongoing but I feel so sorry for this girl and my instinct is that she's been totally screwed over

I think she has been screwed over also. The law system abroad is often very corrupt and manipulative to get their own result.

Of course they went from having video evidence of her having intercourse while unconscious yet later try deny it

Poor girl, it's no wonder women don't report rapes alot of the time. Seems it's legal anyway

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...e-claim-cyprus

found guilty over false rape claim

''She could be sent to jail for a year or fined more than €1,000 (£854).''

Yes she said the First time arrested was Female Police Officer
but the 2 Male Police officers were worse.
Also they do not record any interviews.

Looks like the Male Cops have changed her statement.

Its being reported here aswell
