Am I missing something?
Neighbour has a history of false allegations (if Plod has been involved in the past these will ALL of been recorded, and will be available for years to come. David wasn't there, and more than likely has a number of people who can vouch for his whereabouts (other than immediate family). Also, talk to the pub, do they have CCTV that's likely to of caught him leaving (you won't be able to see this though unless you're friendly with the landlord, and I wouldn't ask anyway, in case it compromises your position).
On that basis, I would be going to court. I would also be asking why Plod insisted on talking to David in the lounge by himself (yes, he's 19, but this is a community matter at the end of the day, so why not directly involve the parents as well?).
My eldest has dyspraxia, which is a condition similar to autism, if he ended up in a similar situation, I'd be using the fact he had dyspraxia to be sat next to him, even if I was silent the entire time. At least I'd know what was said.
