Former Spandau Ballet singer Ross Davidson jailed for 14 years for rape and sexual assault

The former Spandau Ballet singer was convicted across two trials after police found videos of assaults on his phone.

  • On Thursday, April 30, 2026, former Spandau Ballet singer Ross Davidson was sentenced to 14 years in prison at Wood Green Crown Court for a series of sexual offenses.
  • Following two trials, Davidson was convicted of two counts of rape, an attempted rape, three sexual assaults, and two charges of voyeurism involving victims he met via the Tinder dating application.
  • Judge John Dodd KC said Davidson 'behaved to women in a wholly disgraceful manner' over six years, while videos recovered from his phone showed 'strikingly similar' incidents of him assaulting sleeping women.
  • Shikha Verma, senior Crown prosecutor in CPS London, described Davidson as a 'predatory sex offender,' praising the victims' courage for ensuring he was held accountable for his 'horrific crimes.'
  • According to Julie Currie, Victim Navigator Programme Manager at Justice and Care, this conviction highlights the importance of 'specialist, trauma-informed support' for survivors facing barriers when seeking justice.
