Overview
- Ross Davidson, sentenced Thursday at Wood Green Crown Court, received 14 years in prison and was placed on the sex offenders register for life with a sexual harm prevention order.
- He was convicted across two trials of two rapes, one attempted rape, three sexual assaults and two counts of voyeurism, with offences against six women between 2013 and 2019 as four victims were asleep.
- Police arrested him on May 1, 2019 and seized his devices, then charged him on June 24, 2022 after finding videos of assaults, with further charges added on July 6, 2024 as detectives identified additional victims from the footage.
- Judge John Dodd KC condemned his conduct as “wholly disgraceful,” and prosecutors said he believed he was entitled to “sex on demand,” citing videos that showed him assaulting women who were in deep sleep.
- Victims described lasting trauma in statements, and the Met and CPS pointed to the case as proof that careful digital forensics and trauma‑informed support can secure convictions, with the Met investing in upgraded suites for recorded victim interviews.
