All five tourists accused of gang raping Brit, 20, in Ayia Napa are CLEARED in shock ruling 3 years after hotel ‘attack’

FIVE men accused of abducting and gang-raping a British tourist in Ayia Napa have been acquitted.

The men, all aged 19 or 20, were charged by cops after a "highly-distressed" woman, 20, said she was violently sexually attacked.

She told police she was taken "by force" to a hotel room by at least five Israeli men on September 3.

The court said the woman's account “lacked coherence and contained numerous substantial contradictions”.
