A former singer in Spandau Ballet is facing years in prison for raping and sexually assaulting a series of women.
Ross Davidson, 36, demanded sex up to six times a night and forced himself on the women if they refused.
He secretly filmed himself sexually assaulting women as they slept, and videos of the attacks were recovered after his initial arrest in 2019.
Davidson, who performed under the name Ross Wild, had starred in Queen-based West End musical We Will Rock You, and performed in 2018 as the singer for 80s favourite Spandau Ballet alongside Martin Kemp and Steve Norman.
Wood Green crown court heard police officers found seven videos on Davidson’s devices when he was arrested, and tracked down four victims who accused him of rape, sexual assault, voyeurism, and controlling and coercive behaviour.
One of the women said Davidson had attacked her in 2013 after they spent the evening together, raping her despite her pleas for him to stop. He also recorded the ordeal on his mobile phone.
Two women had been recorded as Davidson sexually assaulted them while they slept, and a fourth woman came forward in January 2023 to report thatshe had been recorded without consent.
Davidson was dubbed “manipulative and sadistic” during the trial, with prosecutors arguing he believe his fame and status entitled him to sex with women whenever he wanted.
Davidson, who lives in Station Road, Finchley, north London, was convicted by a jury on Thursday of rape, two counts of sexual assault and voyeurism. He has been remanded in custody until sentencing on September 6.
"Our team have worked incredibly hard to evidence each incident, support the victims and bring Davidson to justice”, said Detective Inspector Wendy Bassett, who led the investigation.
“Davidson is a prolific predatory offender with no regard or care for the impact he has had on the victims. I am pleased with this result and hope it goes some way in providing closure to the victims.”
