Courtroom Drama Follows Former Pop Singer

A London courtroom heard stark and emotional testimony as a woman accused a former pop singer of attempting to rape her, firmly rejecting suggestions that she had fabricated or exaggerated her account. The case centres on allegations against Ross Davidson, known professionally as Ross Wild, who performed with Spandau Ballet during a comeback tour and later appeared in a major West End production. The woman told jurors she had only ever told the truth about what she says happened in a hotel room while travelling in Thailand, describing waking to find Davidson attempting to have sex with her without consent. Her account was delivered under intense questioning, reflecting the broader scrutiny that often surrounds high profile cases involving public figures and allegations of sexual violence.

The court was told that video footage recovered from Davidson’s phone showed the woman asleep in a hotel room while being touched, evidence she said she had been unaware of until police contacted her years later. She explained that the discovery left her shocked and struggling to process what had happened, which she said affected what she initially disclosed to officers. Under cross examination, she rejected claims that she had consented to being touched while unconscious, questioning why anyone would want sexual contact while asleep. She acknowledged that she had consensual sex with Davidson earlier but maintained that consent did not extend to the incident in question. Her testimony painted a picture of confusion, intoxication and fear, alongside an insistence that embarrassment or perceived flaws in her behaviour did not make her account untrue.

Davidson, now 37 and from north London, is facing multiple charges including rape, attempted rape and sexual assault, all of which he denies. Jurors have also been told that he has pleaded guilty to a separate voyeurism charge relating to the same complainant. The case highlights how allegations can follow artists long after the spotlight fades, turning past celebrity into a complicating factor rather than protection. As the trial continues, the court will weigh conflicting accounts, digital evidence and the credibility of those involved. The proceedings serve as a reminder that behind familiar names and former chart success are legal processes that unfold slowly and publicly, often leaving lasting consequences regardless of the verdict eventually reached.
