Daily Mail threatens to sue Good Law Project

We said we were fighting to stop the Mail protecting a sexual predator, so the paper threatened us with legal action. We’re not backing down.

CW: sexual assault

Reports that a star journalist at the Daily Mail has been assaulting young men go back more than a decade. It’s an open secret. But the media conglomerate dismissed one man’s complaint without even interviewing him.

We’re helping him to take on this journalist and the Mail, and we launched a crowdfunder to support this fight on 18 February 2025.

This clearly ruffled some feathers. The Mail got to work with its lawyers and sent us defamation threats marked “private and confidential – not for publication”.

Good Law Project is no stranger to powerful people attempting to silence us. And the Mail is no stranger to dishonesty and bullying – one glance at its journalism tells you as much.

But despite its menacing tone, the Mail just doesn’t have a legal case against us. The Mail is protecting a sexual predator and we will not be bullied into staying quiet.
