BBC Claims 12 "Israelis" Gang Raped Woman
As you can tell by the way I phrased the headline, I did not believe 12 "Israelis" Gang Raped a woman.
Turns out I was right:
‘False rape accuser’ is bundled into court for lying about being attacked
A British woman has been remanded in custody after she appeared in court accused of lying that she was gang-raped by a group of Israeli teenagers. The woman, 19, was pictured being bundled into court in Cyprus this morning where she faces a public nuisance charge.
Her hearing was postponed today because her Cypriot lawyer is currently abroad having surgery. Paralimni court judge Tonia Antoniou ordered the one-day postponement after a lawyer standing in for the woman’s attorney said more time is needed to pour through the police’s extensive case. The woman will remain in police custody until Tuesday’s court appearance because she poses a flight risk, the state-run Cyprus News Agency reported.
On Sunday, the remaining seven of 12 teenagers were released from prison after being cleared of rape. They were seen outside of court jumping for joy. They hugged relatives after their release from police cells in Ayia Napa, where they had been held for attacking the woman at the hotel she was staying in.
She claimed that 12 Israelis had raped her in her hotel room but after she allegedly changed her story and following DNA tests, the suspects were freed. The British woman needs to answer questions about making false allegations, a lawyer for teenagers said. Yiannis Habaris, who represents two of the seven Israelis, said that the British woman had been arrested and faces a public nuisance charge.He said investigators questioning the teenager had concluded that her allegations ‘didn’t stand to reason’.
Mr Habaris said police had earlier provided DNA samples to Israeli authorities to locate three individuals who may have been implicated in the case but, with the case collapsing, that assistance is no longer necessary. Cypriot authorities initially arrested 12 Israelis on July 17 following the rape allegation. Five of them were released on Thursday.
The state-run Cyprus News Agency reported that the woman allegedly told investigators she filed a rape report because she was ‘angry and insulted’ that some of the Israelis allegedly recorded video of her having consensual sex with a number of them. The 12 Israelis had come to Cyprus in three separate groups, some for a vacation before being inducted into the army, and did not know each other.
