Fiend Ross Davidson Found Guilty of Horrific Sex Crimes
Ross Davidson, 36, from Station Road, Finchley, was convicted on Thursday, 25 July, at Wood Green Crown Court for multiple sexual offences.
Shocking Evidence Found on Predator’s Devices
The Met Police launched their investigation in 2019 after arresting Davidson at his home and seizing his devices. Officers uncovered seven videos showing Davidson raping and sexually assaulting his victims.
Four brave victim-survivors have since come forward, reporting rape, sexual assaults, voyeurism, and controlling, coercive behaviour.
Detective Inspector Praises Victims’ Courage
Detective Inspector Wendy Bassett, head of the investigation, said:
“This long-running inquiry has seen victims come forward at different stages. Our team worked relentlessly to gather evidence, support survivors, and hold Davidson to account. We take every sexual offence report seriously, no matter how old.”
She added: “Davidson is a predatory offender with no regard for the trauma he caused. I hope this verdict brings the victims some closure.”
Disturbing Details of Davidson’s Crimes
- One victim reported being raped in 2013 after a night out. Disturbingly, Davidson recorded the assault on his phone, ignoring her pleas for him to stop.
- Police found footage of two other victims being sexually assaulted while asleep after Davidson’s arrest.
- The fourth victim came forward in January 2023 after recognising his name in the news, revealing she was recorded without consent.
Davidson was found guilty of rape, two counts of sexual assault, and voyeurism. He remains in custody and is due to be sentenced on 6 September at Wood Green Crown Court.
The Met’s New Drive to Tackle Violence Against Women
The Met is stepping up efforts to address violence against women and girls, focusing on supporting victims and encouraging reports.
The new approach prioritises investigating the suspect’s life rather than doubting the victim’s credibility, aiming to make the reporting process less invasive and more sensitive during a traumatic time.
