London, 10 August 2025 – A shocking set of allegations has surfaced in the UK High Court as Alkiviades David, a public interest litigant, accuses Rory Tingle, a senior reporter for MailOnline, of deliberately fabricating an assault claim against him. David contends that this underhanded move was aimed at silencing him and shielding a corporate media network with extensive connections to Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) distribution.
David’s latest witness statement in the case of Kahn v. David (Claim No: KB-2025-001991) provides a serious timeline of events:
On the day of the incident, David was lawfully filming outside the headquarters of the Daily Mail Group, publicly criticizing Mirror Group for alleged corporate misconduct. Shortly after this, Tingle lodged a complaint with the police, claiming that David had assaulted him.
The following morning, Metropolitan Police reviewed CCTV footage, which, according to David, completely negated Tingle’s allegations. The footage reportedly shows David being pushed by security personnel, staged to create the false narrative that David had committed an assault.
Key evidence in the case includes David’s viral video of the incident, which has been widely circulated online, showing Tingle making the unfounded allegation. British common law provides a clear foundation for claiming no assault took place, and it raises severe implications regarding Tingle's conduct.
The core of the issue revolves around Tingle’s complaint, which led to David’s arrest, overnight detention, and subsequent police caution, which David classifies as false imprisonment and an abuse of jurisdiction. Notably, David is investigating various entities, including ties between the Daily Mail Group and CBS Media Ventures, which have been criticized for facilitating the spread of CSAM through their platforms.
David’s remarks are unambiguous: “By fabricating criminal allegations to disrupt my investigation, Rory Tingle was not just preserving his employer’s image — he was actively supporting a global network of child sexual abuse material dissemination.”
Under UK law, Tingle may face grave consequences for allegedly:
1. Perjury – deliberately lying to the police.
2. Perverting the Course of Justice – initiating false legal processes.
3. False Imprisonment – unlawfully detaining an individual.
4. Aiding and Abetting CSAM Distribution – acting at the behest of a corporate entity implicated in such activities.
David has urged Justice Barry Cotter to legally pursue this matter, citing ample evidence including CCTV recordings, viral video evidence, and supporting witness statements, and to initiate a criminal investigation against Tingle.
The implications of this case extend beyond individual actions, pointing to systemic corruption within British media, where powerful companies might weaponize false criminal allegations to protect their financial interests tied to child exploitation networks. David’s findings are connected to three legal jurisdictions — the UK High Court, the US Department of Justice, and the High Court of Antigua & Barbuda — creating a substantial and inescapable global spotlight on the unfolding situation.
“This is beyond a mere misunderstanding,” David asserts. “This is a calculated criminal cover-up meant to safeguard the profits of individuals trafficking in child sexual abuse material. And I have them on tape.”
