Ex-Spandau Ballet Singer Ross Davidson Gets 14 Years for Sex Offences

The sentence followed two trials that established a pattern shown in covert videos.

Overview

  • Wood Green Crown Court in London passed sentence on Thursday, giving Davidson 14 years in prison.
  • He was convicted across two trials of two rapes, an attempted rape, three sexual assaults and two counts of voyeurism against six women between 2013 and 2019.
  • Prosecutors said he secretly recorded some attacks, with one video showing a rape while the woman slept.
  • Victims told the court the abuse caused lasting harm, including loss of confidence and fear that now shapes daily life.
  • Under the sentence he can seek release after serving two-thirds with pre-trial custody credited, and he was placed on the sex offenders register for life under a prevention order.
