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.
