Doctor who treated Brit teen, 19, ‘believes’ her Cyprus gang rape claims after seeing her ‘crying and screaming’
A DOCTOR who treated the British teenager convicted of making up a gang rape story in Cyprus said he “believed” the woman after he saw her “crying and screaming”.
Cypriot doctor Sergios Sergiou treated the woman, 19, hours after the alleged sex attack and said she was so distraught she passed out.
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.”
The GP recalled the woman refused to be treated by a male doctor – prompting him to call the police immediately.
She was crying and screaming and her friends said to me some guys had raped her.

When asked if he believed her story, the GP 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.”
The teenager, from Derbyshire, who we are not naming, has faced a traumatic ordeal after originally reporting the alleged gang rape to police.
She later retracted her statement under questioning, with cops then claiming she concocted the story after learning video of her having consensual sex was posted online.
The Brit faces up to a year’s jail for public mischief when sentenced on January 7.
But has vowed to clear her name, saying: “I’m dedicated to seeking true justice.”
SYMPATHY RUNS OUT
Meanwhile the young men she claimed were responsible for the alleged sick attack have been turned on in their own country.
Originally the group were treated to a heroes’ welcome but sympathy for their plight is running out after Israeli’s became digusted at the manner of their behaviour that night.
Three of the men have already admitted that they had sex with the then 18-year-old that night with others admitting to watching and filming it on their phones.
While in footage of the alleged attack, leaked to Israeli media, a man can be heard saying "You’re my wh**e. Say you’re my wh**e." to the woman in Hebrew.
We are both convinced she was physically raped. We met a wonderful young woman whose trauma was loud and clear in almost all her behaviour.

One of the men has since claimed she “wanted” to have sex with the group and did not object to others watching.
He told Israeli TV: “You could see in her eyes that she wanted it and you can see it in all of the videos. In none of them does she look like she’s suffering or shouting for help."
The man added: “I didn’t hear her say: 'Don’t photograph'. I even thought she was for it.”
Two of Israel’s top celebrity journalists have poured scorn on the gang’s claims by backing the woman’s version of the incident.
Guy Meroz and Orly Vilnai – the equivalent of Israel’s Richard and Judy Madeley – met the girl in Cyprus and have interviewed her many times.
Orly told viewers: “She was raped without question.
“We are both convinced she was physically raped. We met a wonderful young woman whose trauma was loud and clear in almost all her behaviour.
“She bites her fingernails, at times she ‘gets stuck’ and goes into a world from which she needs to be woken up.”
