Derbyshire teenager found guilty of gang-rape lie launches appeal against conviction
The teenager claimed she was raped by up to 12 Israeli tourists in a hotel room in the resort of Ayia Napa on July 17 last year but then was charged herself with ‘public mischief’ after signing a retraction statement 10 days later.
She received a suspended jail sentence but maintains she was raped and was forced to change her statement because of pressure from Cypriot police following hours of questioning and without legal representation.
