Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. They don't want the bad press to effect the tourist trade and let's not forget these societies are still very patriarchal. Be interesting to see if assault/fighting, drugs ect are treated in the same way, just brushed under the carpet.

The Police told this woman if she didn't stay on the island they'd drop the case; it's the only reason she was there long enough to get stitched up by the Police. Cyprus is an utter cesspool when it comes to their justice system.
 
There appears to be anecdotal precedents

A mother has told how her daughter was raped in Cyprus and made to retract her statement in a case that bears striking similarities to the British student who claims to have been gang-raped.


The woman, who identified herself as Helen from Milton Keynes, said her daughter Sarah was raped while on holiday at the age of 20. But she ended up going to prison for ‘wasting police time’ after she was persuaded to withdraw her statement. Her alleged rapist was allowed to go home following the assault 15 years ago.

Helen told Radio 2: ‘Sarah was raped and went to report it to police. She went with the holiday rep, the police took a statement and then they took her down to the hospital.

‘They managed to find the rapist and questioned him at length and at one point he was actually even brought into the room that she was in.

‘She begged for them to take him away but they left him in the room with her, with a policeman in the corner, and he was begging and saying how sorry he was and he’d got carried away. The police heard all this, but they decided it was my daughter that was lying – not him.’

Helen said she flew out to Cyprus as soon as Sarah’s friends told her what had happened. ‘We got legal support, although looking back on it and with hindsight, I think the Cyprus legal system is as corrupt as the police.’

Details I hadn't read anywhere else:

Cypriot doctor Sergios Sergiou, who was one of the first people to see the young woman in the moments after the incident, said he felt she was telling the truth, adding that she was so distraught she passed out.

In the early hours of July 17, the teenager was taken to the Santa Marina clinic which is adjacent to the two-star Pambos Napa Rocks hotel where the alleged attack took place.

Her friend had taken her to the doctor when she found her ‘distraught’ and terrified that the ‘Israeli boys were coming for her’ after she managed to escape the room. Dr Sergiou said: ‘She was very stressed and having a panic attack. She was crying and screaming and her friends said to me some guys had raped her.

‘I asked her (what happened) but she did not speak to me. She was crying and she said, “I don’t want men next to me”. When I went to check her and see if she’s okay, she said to me, “go away from me”. That’s when I called the police because at the time it’s not something I could treat.’

Asked if he believed she was attacked, he told Israeli TV: ‘Yes, I thought that something happened. Usually if something is fake they are not calling their parents to inform them. But she was calling her parents.’

Get stitched up by them? Given that her seemingly crying rape lead to them wasting plenty of resources and days in jail for a unchaining of lads they'd arrested then they're not going to be too happy.

Remember they initially did believe this female victim, they arrested these lads pretty quickly and several of them remained locked up for days.

It isn't like they immediately went hostile towards her - they changed their view on the case based on evidence, namely video footage showing she was a liar.

That never happened. What they did find and mentioned in the greek press release was DNA from three extra people unrelated to the group of the Israelis or the incident. They were never named as they are irrelevant to the story. Yeah thats the kind of slug that people donated thousands to.

Thing is you see comments on social media etc.. being like "no woman would willingly let X amount of men take turns on her etc.." which is clearly BS as many people who've played on sports teams or served in the military know - those women exist and are more than happy to make themselves known to groups of physically fit, in shape lads etc..

This girl had traces of DNA from three other people unrelated to this incident? Not really all that surprising - that could be the first night in Magaluf, Benidorm etc.. for some demographics.

Given that then chances that she'd willingly consent to some group action become a bit different. Throw in some video footage of her consenting to some group action when her story was seemingly that she'd only consented to a one on one encounter - well she's lied about that, what else has she lied about... not too surprising the police weren't happy about it.

Or perhaps they "changed their view" from external pressure?

What does that have to do with anything - since when did the police and prosecutors have anything to do with gas production?

In what world does some multi billion dollar deal get used as a bargaining chip for some drunken lads being accused of rape on holiday????

This is stuff you could learn in a few minutes reading, instead you're choosing to prattle in total ignorance. It's not worth arguing with you.

Brilliant, hands over your ears and your eyes shut chanting ‘I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you’. You should read the accounts of the actual evidence rather than believing everything the British tabloids brainwash you with. She is in no way innocent, hence the verdict. The guys are lucky they recorded the whole thing or they’d be facing some serious time.

She’ll be on love island by the end of the year.

Come on man, that's like something the daily mail would tack on.

You don't need me to connect those dots really, do you?

No it's literally why you might stop believing a victim/witness - when what they claimed happened turns out to be completely contradicted.

Stuff about an oil pipeline though is the sort of stuff the likes of Alex Jones/InfoWars might throw in.

Well obviously, but there has been no mention of any consent given in any video seen, so it's a bit fruitless...
