Singer raped women while they slept, court hears

Former Spandau Ballet singer Ross William Wild raped three women and filmed himself molesting his victims as they slept, a court has heard.

Wild, whose real name is Ross Davidson, is accused of a series of sex offences against five women and raping three of them between 2013 and 2023. The 36-year-old’s trial began at London’s Wood Green Crown Court on Tuesday, where it was heard he had a “darker” and “sinister” side with a fantasy to have sex with women while they were asleep.
