[6] In the early 1960s, Teret met Jimmy Savile after winning the Savile-run singing contest at the Palace Theatre in Manchester.
[7] The two men later shared a flat on Great Clowes Street in Broughton, Salford,[7] with Teret becoming Savile's support DJ, assistant and chauffeur.
In October 2014, Teret appeared at Minshull Street Crown Court accused of more than 30 offences of sexual abuse, including 18 charges of rape, some dating back to the 1960s.
The judge said that it was likely that most, if not all, of his remaining years would be spent in prison,[3] and that had Teret been convicted nearer the time of the offences, a life sentence would have been appropriate.
[13] On 17 May 2015, a television programme detailing the investigation into the claims of historic sexual abuse against Teret was broadcast on BBC Two.
[15] Teret was played by Robert Emms in The Reckoning, a miniseries about Jimmy Savile's life broadcast on the BBC.
