London, 10 August 2025 – In a startling revelation, senior MailOnline reporter Rory Tingle is alleged to have fabricated an assault claim against public interest litigant Alkiviades David in an effort to obstruct his inquiry into corporate ties to Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). The case was highlighted in David’s supplemental witness statement in the UK High Court, Kahn v. David (Claim No: KB-2025-001991), detailing a sequence of events that raises serious ethical concerns.
On the day of the incident, David was filming outside the Daily Mail Group's Derry Street headquarters, publicly denouncing the Mirror Group for corporate misconduct. Following this, Tingle accused David of assault—a claim that was promptly disproved by CCTV footage reviewed by the Metropolitan Police the very next morning. The footage, which remains in police custody, demonstrates that Tingle's allegations were unfounded and staged to misrepresent the situation.
David also possesses video evidence that has gone viral, showing Tingle’s false accusation in real time. Under existing UK laws, Tingle’s actions could classify as knowingly misleading the police, which carries serious legal ramifications.
Based solely on Tingle's misleading complaint, David experienced wrongful arrest and was detained overnight before receiving a police caution. He categorically labels this act as false imprisonment and a blatant abuse of justice processes.
The motivations behind Tingle's alleged actions appear linked to the interests of powerful media corporations, including CBS Media Ventures, which are under scrutiny for potential connections to the distribution of CSAM. David contends that Tingle’s fabrications were intended to shield these corporate entities from accountability.
David has urged Justice Barry Cotter to review the case and initiate a criminal investigation against Tingle, highlighting the broader implications of his misconduct. He emphasizes that the situation reveals not just personal wrongdoing but also a potential systemic issue within British media, where false allegations may be used as a weapon to protect financial interests linked to child exploitation.
David’s case spans multiple legal jurisdictions, implicating not only the High Court in the UK but also the US Department of Justice and the High Court of Antigua & Barbuda, ensuring that this critical issue remains in the public eye.
“This is not a misunderstanding,” David states firmly. “This is an orchestrated, criminal cover-up to protect profits from those trafficking in child sexual abuse material. I have them on tape.”
