Jury Hears 'Sex on Demand' Claim in Trial of Ex-Spandau Ballet Singer Ross Davidson

He admits a voyeurism charge related to a video, denying the remaining allegations.

Overview

  • The 37-year-old, known on stage as Ross Wild, is on trial at Wood Green Crown Court on charges including rape, attempted rape and sexual assault.
  • Prosecutors told jurors he believed he was entitled to "sex on demand" and would offend if he did not get what he thought he deserved.
  • One complainant alleges he raped her in London in 2015, saying she felt scared and later reported the incident after a flashback.
  • Police found video footage from a Phuket hotel showing him touching a sleeping woman, and the court heard he has pleaded guilty to voyeurism over that recording.
  • The defence argues there was no sex with the first woman and that the second consented or was pretending to be asleep, with the trial ongoing.
