Benched WFAN host Craig Carton broke his silence Tuesday about his arrest in an alleged $5.6 million Ponzi scheme — predicting that he’ll be vindicated in court and return “stronger than ever.”

“As you can imagine, it’s been incredibly hard to be silent while there is an endless stream of vitriol being hurled my way, but I’m confident that when the facts come out, you’ll see that I am not guilty of these charges,” Carton said in a statement released by a publicist.

“My fight has only just begun and I know when this strange episode is over, I’ll be back, stronger than ever.”

Carton also expressed gratitude to his supporters, “especially” former Jets quarterback Boomer Esiason, with whom he hosted the “Boomer and Carton” sports-talk radio show for 10 years until getting suspended over his arrest last week.

“Thank you for all the kind words and good wishes as I continue on with one of the greatest battles of my life,” he said.

Carton, 48, was busted on conspiracy and fraud charges in what the feds say was a sham ticket reselling operation involving concerts by pop stars including Adele, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Barbra Streisand.

Court papers say he and two alleged accomplices pulled off the scheme to help Carton pay off around $3 million in gambling debts.
