Controversy Erupts as MailOnline Reporter Faces Allegations of Fabricating Assault Claims
Rory Tingle's alleged false complaint against Alkiviades David ignites a legal firestorm, raising critical questions about media misconduct and potential connections to child abuse networks.
London, 10 August 2025 – A MailOnline journalist, Rory Tingle, finds himself embroiled in scandal as he faces allegations in the UK High Court of intentionally fabricating an assault claim against public interest litigant Alkiviades David. David contends this accusation was a strategic move to silence him and safeguard a powerful corporate media network allegedly linked to the distribution channels of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).
David’s supplemental statement in the ongoing Kahn v. David case (Claim No: KB-2025-001991) outlines a troubling sequence of events. On the date in question, David was lawfully filming outside the Daily Mail Group’s Derry Street offices, publicly identifying corporate misconduct by the Mirror Group. Shortly after, Tingle reported to the police that David had assaulted him.
However, subsequent reviews of CCTV footage by the Metropolitan Police revealed a different story. The video, still held in police custody, depicts David being physically pushed by security personnel, suggesting that Tingle's claims were deliberately fabricated to mislead law enforcement.
Additionally, David captured his encounter with Tingle on video, which has since gained international attention, showing Tingle making false allegations in real time. The evidence collected fits firmly within British law, asserting there was no assault, and calling into question Tingle's integrity for making false statements to the police.
Consequently, David was arrested based on Tingle’s accusations, spending a night in detention before being released with a caution. David characterizes this experience as false imprisonment and an obstruction of justice, declaring that the timing of the allegations aligns suspiciously with his investigations into corporate entities, including the Daily Mail Group, linked with CBS Media Ventures and their alleged involvement in CSAM distribution.
David firmly states, “By fabricating these allegations, Rory Tingle wasn’t merely defending his employer's image; he was complicit in enabling a broader child sexual abuse material network.”
His accusations, if substantiated, could result in severe legal ramifications for Tingle, including charges of perjury and perverting the course of justice. David insists that Tingle's actions exemplify a troubling trend in the media where false allegations are wielded as tools for corporate protection.
David is urging Justice Barry Cotter to acknowledge the substantial evidence presented — including CCTV footage, viral recordings, and corroborating witness statements — and to initiate a criminal investigation into Tingle's misconduct.
This case has significant implications beyond individual accusations, hinting at systemic issues in British media where major outlets are purportedly utilizing fraudulent criminal claims to safeguard their ties to child exploitation networks. The evidence gathered now resides in a complex legal web encompassing the UK High Court, the US Department of Justice, and additional jurisdictions, ensuring extensive scrutiny cannot be easily dismissed.
“This is far from a mere error,” David asserts. “It is a calculated cover-up aimed at protecting profits tied to the trafficking of child sexual abuse material, and I've documented it all.”
