The judge told the court: 'The defendant gave police a false rape claim, while having full knowledge that this was a lie. But Judge Papathanasiou ruled the teenager lied as revenge, which she denies, for being filmed having sex without her knowledge and the subsequent embarrassment. Overnight the young woman went from being a victim to being treated like a criminal. The young men - aged between 15 and 21 - were arrested and remanded in custody. Rather than being allowed home, the woman - who cannot be named for legal reasons - found herself in police custody and stranded on the Mediterranean island for five months, charged with 'public mischief'. Her trial, for what is said to be a minor charge in Cyprus, has been dragged out over five shambolic months. It came as the UK Government threatened to intervene over 'serious concerns' about the 19-year-old woman's treatment during a five-month-long court case. The judge did not hear from any of the woman's alleged attackers and was adamant he would not rule on whether she was raped or not, despite three men admitting they had sex with her.
