The sister of a Muslim teenager accused of lying to police about being abuse by Trump supporters has blamed the NYPD for the scandal, arguing they should never have pursued the case.

Yasmin Seweid, 18, has been charged with falsifying a police report and obstructing governmental administration.

The teenager claimed she was called a 'terrorist' by Trump supporters as she boarded a subway on December 1.

NYPD officers investigated her story but found no evidence of it. She later confessed to making it up to get out of trouble for staying out late drinking with friends.

On Thursday, her older sister Sara penned a furious Facebook post blaming the police and the media for her family's ordeal.

Hours earlier, it was revealed their brother Abdoul was arrested in 2012 for telling police a friend of his had been assaulted. He was later charged with breaking into cars to steal their valuable contents.

In her rant on social media, Sara, who is 23, said she could not condone her sister's dishonesty but fumed that the situation had been escalated by police and media.

'The NYPD should never have been involved in the first place even if the incident did happen.

'It became super clear to me the police's first instinct is to doubt your story and to try to disprove it.'

Sara said she was 'deeply concerned' about young Muslim women who feel they 'have to lie so intensely' to survive.

'My sister may have lied but she has dealt with an insurmountable amount of violence and trauma both publicly and privately these past two weeks,' she went on.

Earlier on Thursday, it was revealed the pair's older brother Abdoul also lied to police.

In 2012, he told officers his friend had been assaulted. He was later charged with breaking in to cars to steal their contents.

Abdoul covered his younger sister's head as they left court on Wednesday.

She appeared with a shaved head, an apparent punishment by her strict Egyptian-immigrant parents for the scandal and for dating a Christian, according to The New York Daily News.

Yasmin's family did not reply to DailyMail.com's requests to comment on the case on Thursday.

NYPD confirmed she was facing one count of falsifying a police report and obstructing government administration on Thursday.

Seweid claimed she was attacked by a group of drunk men chanting 'Donald Trump' on December 1.

In a lengthy Facebook post about the incident, she said she was targeted by them because she is Muslim and claimed they branded her a 'racist'.

When NYPD investigators looked into her claims, they could find no evidence of it and questioned her.

She admitted making the whole thing up to avoid being told off by her strict parents for staying out late and drinking with friends, it was reported.
