A MAN who allegedly boasted "I'm raping your daughter right now" while on the phone to her mother has been beaten by an angry mob.
Accused Murat Kaya, 36, claims his family have been bombarded with death threats after he was arrested on rape charges, according to reports.
Kaya and a friend who allegedly helped him with the vile attack in the southern Turkish city of Antalya were initially released following the alleged rape in September 2019.
The victim's family have since claimed he had boasted down the phone that he was raping her, which has caused widespread public anger in Turkey.
He has now been arrested on rape charges, along with the friend accused of helping him.
The 29-year-old victim was left so traumatised by her ordeal that she attempted suicide and is now paralysed.
A case has now been filed against Kaya with the Antalya 11th High Criminal Court.
'THREATENING MESSAGES'
The alleged rapist said he has received "thousands of threatening messages" since his arrest and he was attacked by an angry mob outside his workplace last week.
"People treat me differently in the neighbourhood," he said, according to Bursada Bugün.
"I cannot turn my mobile phone on. There are thousands of threatening messages. People battered me in front of my workplace.
"My family and I cannot go outside for fear of something happening."
He reportedly suffered a head injury in the attack.
He has denied the allegations and claimed the victim attacked him after he told her he wanted to end the relationship between the pair.
Kaya allegedly offered to give the victim a lift to a taxi rank after she left the nightclub where she worked, Turkish news website One Dio reports.
You’re Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.

Instead, he is accused of taking her to a furniture workshop where he beat her, forced her to take drugs and then sexually assaulted her for hours.
At one point during the horrific ordeal, she called her mother on the phone and said: "Mum, I'm dying. Take care of my son."
Kaya had then grabbed the phone and told the mother: "I am raping your daughter right now."
He then allegedly dumped her by the side of the road and cleaned the ground with a hose before returning to the workshop and deleting CCTV records.
The girl was taken to hospital in a serious condition after being found at the side of the road.
Her mother immediately went to the police and filed a complaint, proving the sexual assault with a medical report.
Bu the suspects were originally not kept in custody, and a short while later the young victim tried to kill herself.
The suicide attempt was not successful, but the victim is now paralysed and bed-bound, living in a room her mother has turned into a hospital unit.
She is constantly connected to breathing apparatus and can only respond to questions by slightly moving her toes.
Police later managed to recover some of the CCTV footage from a computer and allege that it shows the victim being attacked and thrown to the floor while the accused tries to remove her clothing.
The investigation continues.
