Cyprus court delays hearing for Brit in false rape case

None

PARALIMNI, Cyprus -- A Cyprus court postpones a custody hearing for the 19-year-old British woman who admitted inventing her accusation that 12 Israeli teens raped her at the popular resort town of Ayia Napa.

 

The woman faces a public nuisance charge after she confessed to falsifying her allegation.

 

Paralimni court judge Tonia Antoniou orders the one-day postponement because the woman's lawyer is abroad.

  

The woman will remain in police custody until Tuesday's court appearance because she poses a flight risk, the state-run Cyprus News Agency says.
