Ex-Spandau Ballet Singer Ross Davidson Found Guilty of Rape
Ross Davidson was convicted of rape, attempted rape, and voyeurism after jurors heard he exploited his status for non-consensual sex, with verdicts reached after 11 hours of deliberation.
- On Wednesday, jurors at Wood Green Crown Court found Ross Davidson guilty after more than 11 hours of deliberation for raping a woman in London and attempting to rape another in Thailand.
- Prosecutors said Davidson used his charm and musical success to mask a `much darker side`, arguing he felt entitled to `sex on demand` and met the women via Tinder to exploit his status.
- Detectives found a secretly filmed video on Davidson's mobile showing the Thailand victim being touched while asleep, and he pleaded guilty to voyeurism but denied sexual assault.
- A hearing will set sentencing arrangements and Davidson denies the assaults, calling the allegations an `out-and-out lie` while maintaining his actions were consensual.
- A London victim told jurors Davidson attacked her while she slept, leaving her helpless and placing a sex collar and wrist cuffs on her for about 20 minutes without permission.
