From the BBC:
“Ayia Napa: British woman held
over 'false rape claims' against Israeli teens”
A British woman has been held
in custody in Cyprus over claims she falsely accused a group of 12 young
Israelis of raping her in a hotel room. The 19-year-old woman appeared in court
earlier facing charges of causing public mischief. The group - aged between 15
and 20 - appeared in court on 18 July accused of raping her at the Pambos Napa
Rocks Hotel, in the resort of Ayia Napa. The group spent over a week in prison
before being released. The teenagers were released after the woman allegedly
changed her statement and have all now returned to Israel. They say they now
plan to sue the woman for damages over the alleged false rape claims. She has
been remanded in custody until August 7, when she is expected back in court. If
convicted, she could face up to a year in prison. The young woman covered her
face with a jumper as she arrived at the court in Paralimni. She was accompanied by her mother, who was
seen crying in the courtroom, according to the Cyprus Mail. The Cypriot court
judge is said to have described the incident in court on Tuesday as
"troubling" because of the serious social and personal distress
caused to the teenagers.
^ I really hope this woman is
treated the same exact way as the men she falsely accused were treated. She lied
about the rape (a gang rape at that) and because of that these innocent young
men were treated as monsters by the media and the whole world. This incident
will follow them for the rest of their lives. Any person (male or female) that falsely
claims a rape, a murder or a hate crime deserves to have their life ruined
since their actions did the same to the person/people they falsely accused. I
am sick and tired of the people and the places that protect these fake accusers
(by hiding their name and picture) when they did not do the same for the real
victims in this case. It makes the statement that if you falsely accuse someone
or a group of people of rape (or murder or a hate crime) then you will be
protected so your life isn’t ruined the same way your lie ruined the life/lives
or those you accused. That is the worst kind of judicial system. The public has
a right to know. ^
