Lemon Juice at Brooklyn Court in December 2012.

Lemon Juice is putting the squeeze on Twitter and BlackBerry.

The oddly named man is trying to force both companies to reveal the identity of a user who posted a teen molestation victim’s photo under his name and caused his arrest, court papers show.

Juice was busted after the photo was posted amid the 2012 sex-abuse trial of the young woman’s abuser, Rabbi Nechemya Weberman.

Juice was charged with contempt of court because the presiding judge had prohibited taking any pictures of the woman during the trial. The photo was taken with a BlackBerry.

He was eventually cleared of all charges after 14 court appearances.

“A Twitter account in the name of Lemon Juice — and with Mr. Juice’s actual photograph — was created by an impostor, and this Lemon Juice account posted the photograph of the victim that resulted in Mr. Juice’s arrest and subsequent prosecution,” according to his Brooklyn Supreme Court suit.

Prosecutors revealed in court papers that the posts were linked to a man named Moses Klein.

“The only way to obtain the true address and phone number of ‘Moses Klein,’ and to obtain the identity of the Twitter account’s operator, is by and through this special proceeding” to compel the companies to disclose the identity of the account, according to the court papers.

Juice had attended the trial to show support for the victim, the papers say.

He claims that Weberman’s henchmen created the false account that led to his bust, and he plans to sue them for the scheme and his false arrest.

Weberman was eventually convicted at trial on a slew of sex charges.
