"A former singer with Spandau Ballet told a woman 'thanks for being cool about it' when she calmly talked him down from raping her, a court has heard. The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said she woke up to find Ross Davidson trying to have sex with her in a hotel in Thailand without her permission and without a condom."
"The interview continued with the woman saying: 'I remember him (Davidson) saying 'thanks for being cool about it'.' Recalling Davidson's response when she woke up, the woman said: 'He froze but he had this scary look on his face.' She said she told him he had to ask and that he was not wearing a condom, but she spoke in an easy voice to calm the situation, the court heard."
Ross Davidson is accused of attempting to rape a tourist in Thailand in December 2019 after the pair had drunken sex the previous night. The woman said she woke to find Davidson trying to have sex without her permission and without a condom. She said she spoke calmly to him to reduce danger, told him he had to ask and that he was not wearing a condom, and recalled him saying "thanks for being cool about it". Davidson denies the charges and is also accused of a 2015 rape in London. He has performed in West End shows and with Spandau Ballet.
