A former frontman for Spandau Ballet has been jailed for 14 years for multiple rapes and sexual assaults.
Ross Davidson, 38, once starred in the Queen musical We Will Rock You and was lead singer for 80s legends Spandau Ballet in 2018.
He was found guilty of two rapes, an attempted rape, three sexual assaults and two charges of voyeurism, against six women between 2013 and 2019.
Davidson, who used the stage name Ross Wild and described himself as "sex positive", claimed all the sexual activity was consensual.
Jurors in two separate trials disagreed and he was sentenced today at Wood Green Crown Court in London.
The judge said Davidson had been seen by many as charismatic, but as his career took off was "behaving to women in a wholly disgraceful manner".
Davidson filmed himself during one of the rapes and some of the assaults.
The videos were taken when women were "as vulnerable as can be" and in "such a deep sleep that they could not be disturbed", said prosecutor Richard Hearnden.
They women only found out what happened when police told them.
Mr Hearnden told the court Davidson was a predator who "will resort to rape and sexual assault if he is not given what he thinks he deserves".
He read a book as the court heard statements about the victims' trauma. Three of them were in the room as the sentence was delivered.
'Crippling' ADHD, drugs and alcohol
The Aberdeen-born singer was first convicted of rape, sexual assaults and voyeurism involving four women after a trial in July 2024.
A second trial last January also found him guilty of raping a woman in London in 2015 and an attempted rape and sexual assault of another women in Thailand in 2019.
One said in her impact statement: "Since the rape, my life has been permanently changed. I no longer feel safe or able to trust the world as I once did.
"Ordinary situations can feel threatening, and I live with constant anxiety and hyper-vigilance. Emotionally, I experience fear, sadness, anger, and at times numbness."

Another woman said she was on medication for depression and anxiety and was "guarded and introverted" after previously being a sociable person.
Speaking after sentencing, senior CPS prosecutor Shikha Verma paid tribute to their "immense courage" in supporting the case against the "predatory sex offender".
Davidson's lawyer, Charlotte Newell KC, told the court the singer had gone through a period of "crippling" undiagnosed ADHD and previously used drugs and alcohol to cope.
She said he now had "genuine remorse" and is taking medication for his conditions.
