A British teenager who claimed she was gang raped by 12 Israeli men has been found guilty of lying about the attack.
The 19-year-old was convicted by a court in Cyprus of making up the story that she was the victim of a brutal assault.
A judge found that she had lied in revenge for being filmed having sex with a man she had met at her hotel, adding: ‘She knows that she was never raped.’
As she left the court, the woman gave a thumbs up to her supporters while she and her mother wore masks depicting a pair of lips sewn together that were given to them by the crowd.
In a damming verdict, Judge Michalis Papathansidi said the only the time the teenager told the truth was when she admitted to being ‘humiliated’ after discovering she had been filmed by a group of Israeli men.
