UK – A court has heard how singer Ross Davidson “raped a woman in bondage” before sending her promotional emails’ about the band he was in before he joined Spandau Ballet.

Ross Davidson, 36, who was best known to fans as Ross Wild, wanted sex up to six times a night and would force himself on women who refused, it is claimed. Jurors heard the singer was ‘a bit of a sex symbol’ after starring in the West End musical We Will Rock You about a decade ago.

The singer – who became the lead singer in Spandau Ballet in 2018 – is accused of a series of sex offences against five women and raped three of them, a court has heard. It’s claimed the offences took place over a ten year period between 2013 and 2023.

Davidson appeared at Wood Green Crown Court wearing a tweed jacket and white shirt. A woman alleged to have been raped by the ex Spandau Ballet star in his London flat in 2015, stated that sexual relations with him felt “transactional”.

She gave evidence via video which was played to the court. In her evidence, she told the court that Davidson would randomly attach her to a leather-and-buckle collar that connected her neck to her wrists. She said: “I remember whilst I was in London, at the property, mid-conversation – without stopping the conversation – he left the room and came back in with a collar that connected to wrist-cuffs.
