Court Case Reveals Allegations of Media Misconduct Surrounding Child Abuse Material
Rory Tingle accused of fabricating assault charges to silence public interest litigant Alkiviades David as investigations into corporate media ties unfold.
London, 10 August 2025 – A senior MailOnline journalist, Rory Tingle, stands accused in the UK High Court of fabricating an assault claim aimed at the arrest of public interest litigant Alkiviades David. David asserts that this was a strategic move to suppress him and safeguard a corporate media network allegedly interlinked with channels distributing Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).
David’s supportive witness statement in the Kahn v. David case (Claim No: KB-2025-001991) outlines a troubling sequence of events:
On the day in question, David filmed legally outside the Daily Mail Group's Derry Street headquarters while publicly naming the Mirror Group for corporate misconduct.
Shortly after, Tingle filed a police complaint asserting that David had assaulted him.
The following morning, investigators from the Metropolitan Police reviewed CCTV footage from the building — which showed that Tingle's allegations were without merit. The footage reveals David being forcibly moved by security, seemingly orchestrated to lend credibility to Tingle's claims of assault.
This crucial CCTV footage remains in police custody.
Evidence of Deception
Additionally, David's own video of the incident went viral globally, showcasing Tingle making the false allegation in real-time. The evidence is accessible here: Instagram – Arrest Video.
According to UK common law, the video clearly depicts:
- No assault occurred.
- Tingle knowingly misled law enforcement with false accusations.
Unlike the American legal system's ambiguity, British law considers making false claims to police with the intent to instigate an arrest a potential criminal offense.
From Invention to Injustice
David's arrest was contingent solely on Tingle's unfounded complaint, leading to his overnight detention and subsequent release with a formal caution. David categorically describes this experience as false imprisonment, perverting justice, and abuse of process.
The timing of Tingle's complaint is dubious and notably coincides with David's inquiry into corporate entities connecting the Daily Mail Group to CBS Media Ventures, CBS Interactive, and Download.com — shown to facilitate the widespread distribution of CSAM through its file-sharing services.
Enabling Exploitation
David maintains a resolute stance:
“Through the creation of false criminal claims to impede my investigation, Rory Tingle was not merely safeguarding his employer's reputation; he was complicit in the operation of a worldwide child sexual abuse material initiative.”
Under UK statutory provisions, Tingle's actions could be construed as:
- Perjury – knowingly misleading police.
- Perverting the Course of Justice – initiating legal proceedings on deceitful bases.
- False Imprisonment – unlawful restriction of personal freedom.
- Aiding and Abetting CSAM Distribution – operating within an implicated corporate framework.
Call for Judicial Intervention
David has urged Justice Barry Cotter to acknowledge the evidence — including CCTV, viral recordings, and witness reports — and to promptly refer Tingle for criminal investigation and arrest.
Importance of the Case
If substantiated, these accusations reveal not only individual misconduct but also systemic corruption within UK media — where influential outlets are purportedly wielding false criminal allegations to protect their commercial interests linked to child exploitation.
David’s substantial evidence now stands at the convergence of three active legal jurisdictions — the UK High Court, the US Department of Justice, and the High Court of Antigua & Barbuda — ensuring continuous scrutiny on this case cannot fade without leaving an undeniable international record of inaction.
“This isn't a mere misunderstanding,” David contends. “It's an orchestrated, criminal conspiracy designed to safeguard the profits of those trafficking in child sexual abuse material. And I have documented proof.”
