A British woman who has accused five Israelis of raping her in Cyprus has identified four of them in a police lineup, Channel 13 reports.

In addition, police have take sheets and other items from the room for DNA analysis.

It was announced on Monday that five men aged 19 and 20 from the northern town of Majd al-Krum were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the woman’s gang rape.

Nir Yaslovitzh, a lawyer representing two of the suspects, conceded that they had sex with the woman, but tells Channel 13 “the issue of consent will become clear during the investigation.”
