‘GANG RAPE’ BRITON GUILTY OF LYING

PARALIMNI: A Cyprus court yesterday found a British woman guilty of lying about being gang raped by Israeli youths six months ago. In a case closely followed by rights groups, a district court in Paralimni ruled the woman, aged 19 at the time, had lied about being sexually abused by 12 Israeli teenagers. The woman was arrested after police said she withdrew an accusation that the teenagers raped her in a hotel room at the holiday resort of Ayia Napa in mid-July. She had faced charges of public mischief. – Reuters
