AN Israeli falsely accused of raping a woman in Cyprus has vowed to sue his Brit accuser.

Yona Golub was cleared of sexually assaulting the 19-year-old after a selfie of him in bed with his girlfriend proved he was not present at the time of the alleged attack.

Now the 18-year-old has broken his silence and said he plans to take legal action against the woman, claiming strangers yell 'rapist' at him in the street.

The Brit teen is now facing up to a year in a Cypriot jail and a £1,000 fine after being accused of fabricating the whole affair.

Yona told the MailOnline: "The officers came rushing in. They pulled me from my bed and said 'You're being arrested on suspicion of rape'.

"They made me get dressed, hand cuffed me and took me to the station.

"It was all lies. It had nothing to do with me.

"The police just believed that she was saying. But you saw that in the end she admitted she lied but it hasn't worked out so well for her."

He added that he has been sacked from his job following the scandal and gets abused in the street back in Israel.

Yona said: "I walk in the street and people yell 'rapist.'

"They come to my mother and say 'your son is a rapist', to my little sister and say 'your brother is a rapist'."

He had previously said: ''We will sue her for the anguish caused and for libel. I am walking in the street and people are calling me a rapist.

''I was with two friends who were arrested and they straight away arrested me too. I know my friends were in the room, but I wasn’t, I don’t know the girl.'

''The truth is out, I told myself, today finally this nightmare ends. I went through tough days. I was happy to hear they were being set free, I was going crazy at home.”

Earlier this week it emerged the Brit teen was facing a multi-million pound lawsuit after she was accused of making it up.

The 19-year-old, who cannot be named, had told cops she was attacked in a Cyprus hotel room and the Israeli men were then rounded up by police and held in custody for nine days.

But they were released after she changed her statement saying she been 'annoyed' that some of them had filmed themselves while having consensual sex.

There was also reportedly no DNA evidence linking them to the alleged attack.

A law enforcement official said the woman had withdrawn her claims during questioning over the weekend, saying there had been sexual contact with the suspects but she wasn't raped.

On Monday she was taken to a court in Famagusta, Cyprus, for a remand hearing but the case was postponed after her lawyer failed to show up.

TV pictures showed her arriving for the hearing with a jacket over her head handcuffed to a police woman and her mother was said to be at court.

The 12 who are all now back in Israel celebrated their release on arrival at Tel Aviv airport and social media footage showed them chanting ''The Brit woman is a whore''.

A Cyprus police spokesman said the woman had been charged with ''public mischief'' and had been remanded in custody.
