| (35 minutes later) | |
| Former DJ Ray Teret has been jailed for 25 years for a series of rapes and indecent assaults on girls as young as 12. | Former DJ Ray Teret has been jailed for 25 years for a series of rapes and indecent assaults on girls as young as 12. |
| Teret, 73, a friend of Jimmy Savile, was last week convicted of seven counts of rape and 11 counts of indecent assault during the 1960s and 1970s. | |
| His victims, some of whom were in court, cheered and cried as he was sentenced. Some also shouted "monster". | |
| Police revealed four further women have also said they were abused by Teret. | |
| Greater Manchester Police are investigating the claims. | |
| Teret did not react as he was taken down, BBC North of England correspondent Judith Moritz said. | |
| He was told by Mr Justice Baker that the 25-year sentence means he will likely spend the rest of his life in jail. | |
| During the trial, Teret told jurors he had no interest in underage girls. | |
| But the court heard he had a previous conviction for sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old girl in 1999. | |
| Prosecutors said he had "consistently pursued" young teenage girls. | |
| He was convicted of a number of charges, but also cleared of various other sexual offences. | |
| Among the charges he was cleared of was a claim he aided and abetted Savile to rape a 15-year-old girl in the early 1960s. | |
| Teret was found guilty of raping the complainant himself. |
