In an interview with The Sun, the 19-year-old claimed she was raped by up to 12 Israeli tourists in a hotel room in the town of Ayia Napa on July 17, before being charged herself after signing a retraction statement 10 days later.

Maintaining she was raped, she said she was forced to change her account under pressure from Cypriot police following hours of questioning alone and without legal representation.

The teenager, who cannot be named, said she did not know how many of a group of 12 boys and young men raped her in the frenzied attacks.

The Derbyshire teenager convicted of falsely claiming she was raped by Israeli tourists, covers her face as she leaves after the verdict at the Famagusta District Court in Paralimni in eastern Cyprus, flanked by supporters, on December 30, 2019.

Recounting the incident, she said: "They were lining up, excited, talking and shouting in Hebrew.

"I was trying to fight them off but I just couldn't. They were like a pack of animals - a pack of wolves."

She also thought she was going to die during the incident, which happened when she was 18.

On January 8, she was given a four-month jail term, suspended for three years after having been found guilty of “public mischief” the week before.

But she was spared jail after the judge took into account her age, psychological state and the fact she had been in Cyprus for six months, including a month behind bars.

She has launched an appeal against her public mischief conviction to Cyprus' supreme court since returning to Britain.
