The star of the band "Spandau Ballet," Ross Davidson, has been accused of molestation and rape of multiple women. The 36-year-old artist denies the allegations. A verdict in this case is expected soon.

According to reports in "The Mirror," 36-year-old Ross Davidson, performing under the alias Ross Wild, filmed himself molesting several women and demanding sex up to six times a night. The recording supposedly proves that he also imposed himself on those who did not accept his advances. When they refused, it allegedly resulted in rapes.

On Tuesday, June 11, at the Wood Green Crown Court in London, the trial of the famous musician began. The jury was informed that he filmed himself abusing sleeping victims, who were unaware that they had been subjected to violence until the video material was shown to them.

The court's findings indicate that the singer allegedly fantasized about having sex with women while they slept. One of the victims was a singer who experienced sexual violence and was filmed while she slept at a film festival in Cannes in southern France.

All this happened over ten years, between 2013 and 2023. The 36-year-old artist denies the charges and refutes all the accusations.

"The defendant, if these things are true, was an utterly manipulative and sadistic individual. She was being used as some sort of sexual slave. He wanted to have sexual intercourse five or six times a night. When she said it was too much, he forced her to have sex with him" - said prosecutor Richard Hearnden, cited by "The Sun."
