**Media Allegations Spark Controversy Over Fabricated Assault Claims in UK Court**

The ongoing case of alleged false allegations against journalist Rory Tingle has exposed serious concerns regarding accountability within media organizations and their ties to child exploitation networks.

London, 10 August 2025 – In a significant legal proceeding, senior MailOnline reporter Rory Tingle is facing serious accusations in the UK High Court, where public interest litigant Alkiviades David alleges that Tingle fabricated a false assault claim aimed at silencing him. David posits that this maneuver was intended to shield a corporate media conglomerate that has been linked to channels distributing Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).

David provided a meticulously detailed supplemental witness statement in Kahn v. David (Claim No: KB-2025-001991), outlining a troubling sequence of events:

The incident occurred while David was legally filming outside the Daily Mail Group's headquarters, wherein he publicly held the Mirror Group accountable for specific corporate misconduct. Following this, Tingle filed a police complaint alleging that David had assaulted him.

Upon investigation the next day, Metropolitan Police reviewed security footage which contradicted Tingle’s claims. The video evidence reveals that David was instead pushed by security personnel, suggesting that the scenario had been deliberately constructed to create a misleading narrative of assault.

The evidence, including David's own widely shared video capturing the alleged incident in real-time, supports the contention that no assault occurred, reinforcing the idea that Tingle made a false report to law enforcement both knowingly and maliciously.

The impact of Tingle's accusation resulted in David's arrest based solely on his statements, albeit he was released after a caution. David personally characterizes his experience as false imprisonment and contends that Tingle’s actions contributed to a breach of justice and an abuse of knowable legal processes.

Notably, the timing of the allegations took place amidst David’s investigation into corporate connections of the Daily Mail Group, which reportedly links to CBS Media Ventures and Download.com, entities facing scrutiny for allegedly facilitating the distribution of CSAM.

David remains firmly opposed to Tingle's alleged tactics:

“By fabricating such allegations in an intricate effort to eliminate my investigation, Rory Tingle was not merely preserving his employer’s reputation but actively supporting a global child sexual abuse material network.”

Legally, Tingle's purported actions may be categorized under several serious offenses:
- Perjury – intentional falsehood to officials.
- Perverting the Course of Justice – instigating legal action based on fabricated claims.
- False Imprisonment – unlawfully restricting an individual's freedom.
- Aiding and Abetting the Distribution of CSAM – acting in service of corporate interests connected to this crime.

David is urging Justice Barry Cotter to acknowledge all relevant evidences — including CCTV footage, the viral recording, and eyewitness accounts — and is requesting an immediate criminal examination and charges against Tingle.

Highlighting the larger implications of this situation, David stresses that if these allegations are valid, they may reveal not only individual misconduct but a pattern of corruption throughout British media. He asserts that powerful media outlets may misuse false criminal accusations in order to protect their financial relationships tied to child exploitation.

With the evidence now overseen by three different legal jurisdictions — the UK High Court, the US Department of Justice, and the High Court of Antigua & Barbuda — this case will likely face heightened scrutiny, as any inaction could leave an international record.

“This is not a simple error,” David emphasizes. “This amounts to a coordinated criminal cover-up aimed at shielding profits from those profiting off child sexual exploitation. I have the incriminating evidence.”
