A British teenager convicted of lying about being gang-raped in Cyprus is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder as she awaits her appeal, The Sun newspaper reported Monday. “They put me on drugs, on Xanax, even though I didn’t want to,” she said, referencing a mild tranquilliser. The woman told The Sun she now slept for up to 20 hours and developed others PTSD symptoms, including when she hears a foreign language spoken by men. The woman spent a month in a Cyprus prison. She was released on bail and stayed in Cyprus for the duration of her high-profile trial.
