A Cyprus court on Monday found a British woman guilty of lying about being gang-raped by Israeli youths six months ago.
In a case closely followed by rights groups, a district court in the town of Paralimni ruled the woman, aged 19 at the time, had lied about being sexually abused by the 12 Israeli teenagers in July.
Sentencing was set for January 7.
The woman was arrested and charged with public mischief after police said she retracted her statement about the attack.
She said she recanted under duress from police during persistent questioning without a lawyer present. Prosecutors and the court dismissed that claim.
"My conclusion is that the guilt of the accused has been proven beyond reasonable doubt," the presiding judge ruled, describing her claims as inconsistent and saying she tried to mislead the court.
Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office said it would take the matter further.
"The UK is seriously concerned about the fair trial guarantees in this deeply distressing case and we will be raising the issue with the Cypriot authorities," it said in a statement released through the British High Commission in Nicosia.
The woman's lawyer said she believed there had been "many violations" in the handling of the trial.
The Israelis, who denied any accusation of rape, were released 10 days after their arrest without charge, on the day the woman retracted her statement.
The teenagers were not summoned to court because prosecutors considered it a case of public mischief and not rape.
The woman told the court that said she was in a hotel room with one of the Israeli youths with whom she had a relationship when the others appeared and pinned her down.
One defence witness, Marios Matsakis, a forensic pathologist who formerly worked for the state, said the woman's injuries were consistent with rape.
Prosecutors say she fabricated the claims after she became angry at being filmed during sex.
The incident occurred in the coastal resort of Ayia Napa, about 8 kilometres from Paralimni, which is popular with young people.
