The former frontman of Spandau Ballet is currently facing a trial for charges of rape and sexual assault. The accused, Ross William Wild, who used to go by the name Ross Davidson, is being accused of committing these heinous acts and even filming them for his own pleasure.
The court heard that the 36-year-old Scottish performer had a disturbing habit of demanding sex from his victims up to six times a night. He would allegedly force them even when they showed reluctance. It was also revealed that Davidson had a tendency to film himself molesting sleeping women, who were unaware of the abuse until they were shown the footage.
According to reports, the accused had a twisted fantasy of having sex with women while they were asleep. He even referred to them as "models," which was believed to mean mannequins or dummies. One of the victims was allegedly filmed while she was being sexually assaulted at the Cannes Film Festival, while another was treated as a "sexual slave" by Davidson.
Before the trial, Davidson had a successful career in the West End, performing in shows like We Will Rock You and Million Dollar Quartet. He even had the opportunity to perform with Spandau Ballet's bassist, Martin Kemp, during a stint in Million Dollar Quartet. However, in 2018, he took on the role of lead singer for Spandau Ballet after Tony Hadley's departure.
The accused, whose real name is Ross Davidson, is facing multiple charges, including rape, sexual assault, voyeurism, intimidation, and controlling behavior against five different women over the span of ten years. However, he has denied all of the allegations.
During the trial, prosecutor Richard Hearnden described Davidson as a "very good looking" and "a bit of a sex symbol." However, he also mentioned that the accused had a darker side, which was evident in his predatory behavior towards women. The prosecutor stated that many young women had come forward to the police, claiming to be victims of Davidson's predatory behavior. He also added that the accused believed he was entitled to sex whenever he wanted, and if he didn't get it, he would resort to rape and sexual assault.
The first incident that Davidson is accused of happened in 2013, where he allegedly filmed himself raping a woman after an argument in his North Finchley flat. The prosecutor mentioned that the accused would film these acts for his own gratification and even asked the victim, "Why do you look like you've been raped?" after the assault.
Another victim claimed that she was unaware that she had been filmed while Davidson was fondling her breasts and holding his penis. The accused had allegedly informed her of his fantasy and desire to have sex with a sleeping woman. In May 2018, at the Cannes Film Festival, a third woman was allegedly abused by Davidson while she was asleep.
The fourth victim claims that she was filmed performing a sexual act on the accused without her consent before he later raped her at his home. The prosecutor mentioned that she had repeatedly told Davidson that she did not want to have sex with him, but he did not listen. She even called her mother from the bathroom after the assault.
The court also heard from a woman who met Davidson on a dating app in 2012 and stayed with him in 2015. She alleged that she woke up in his bed to find him having sex with her. She felt scared and helpless and claimed that Davidson had earlier told her about his fantasy of having sex with a "model," which turned out to be a dummy, mannequin, or doll.
In March 2021, Davidson was arrested and questioned about these incidents, and he maintained that everything was consensual between him and the women. After a short tenure with Spandau Ballet, he was effectively sacked live on TV in 2018. This ordeal led him to try and take his own life, as he later claimed.
The trial is still ongoing, and The Agency has reached out to Davidson for comment. If you have any information or a story to share, please contact the entertainment team at The Agency. We would love to hear from you.
