The moment when her daughter called her from Cyprus to tell her that she had been the victim of gang rape, the mother of the 19-year-old Briton describes in new statements to the Daily Mail, who is waiting for the sentence to be pronounced tomorrow after her conviction for false accusation rape, while at the same time stating that the family is horrified at the possibility of the young woman being imprisoned.

"It's the phone call no one wants to receive. "It was shocking," said the Darbyshire woman, who did not want to be named to protect her daughter.

She also talks about her "despair" in trying to support her daughter in the midst of a legal process unknown to them, but also about the serious blow that the case has caused to the mental health of the 19-year-old.

He comments that anyone would find it difficult to manage a rape or fear of HIV infection or imprisonment, much less all three at the same time.

In another interview with the Times, the mother states that her daughter wanted to become a police officer, a dream she will probably have to give up after her conviction.

She also states that the whole family is terrified at the possibility of her daughter being imprisoned.

In addition, many British media outlets publish the profile of the Cypriot physician who examined the 19-year-old, in which 35 bruises are identified, which according to him are consistent with the injuries of a rape victim.

He allegedly told the Times that a report by the prosecution revealed that at least three of the 12 Israelis had marks and bruises that could have arisen from the resistance of a rape victim.

The Daily Mirror quotes the same physician as writing that the court did not adequately examine whether the 19-year-old had been drugged before being raped, as she complains. The same doctor, moreover, is also said to state that the judge of the District Court of Famagusta gave him the impression of "half-hearted".

The Daily Mail, meanwhile, publishes in an extensive article the identity of the 19-year-old Israeli with whom the young British woman had an affair in Ayia Napa. The semi-professional footballer, many photos of which the newspaper publishes on its website, is accused by the 19-year-old of participating in the gang rape by forcibly keeping her in bed. He denies the accusation.
