British teen denies making false rape claim in Cyprus

A British teenager has appeared in court to deny making a false rape claim against 12 Israeli tourists in Cyprus.

The 19-year-old woman had been in prison for nearly two months on a public mischief charge before the hearing, after reporting that she was raped by 12 Israelis at a holiday resort on the island.

Sky News reports that a trial is now set to start on 2 October, with the judge releasing the accused teenager on bail after deeming it “proper and fair” to do so following her detention.
