Compelled - Ray Teret

On this episode of the Cinescape Magazine Podcast Compelled, we discuss Ray Teret as we continue our look into Operation Yewtree and the associates of Jimmy Savile In 1999, Teret was found guilty of unlawful sex with a 15-year-old girl.[8] On 8 November 2012, Teret was arrested at his home on Woodlands Road in Altrincham by Greater Manchester Police, one of two arrests made in connection with an allegation of historic rape.[9] The offences are alleged to have taken place in Trafford in the 1960s and 1970s against three women who were then under the age of consent.[4] The arrests were not part of Operation Yewtree[10] (the investigation into offences allegedly committed by Jimmy Savile and others) though Teret was a close associate of Savile. 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. One of the charges related to an alleged offence committed by Teret and Savile together. Two other men, William Harper and Alan Ledger, were also charged, and were tried alongside Teret. All three men denied all the charges.[11] In December Teret was found guilty of seven charges of rape and eleven charges of indecent assault, with one victim aged only 12.[8] The other two defendants were found not guilty of all charges, and Teret was acquitted of assisting Savile to rape an alleged victim, but was found guilty of raping the same complainant himself. On 11 December 2014, Mr. Justice Baker sentenced Teret to 25 years in prison. The judge said that it was likely that most, if not all, of his remaining years would be spent in prison.[2] A lawyer for 169 of Savile's victims stated that Teret's conviction represents "the closest the victims of Jimmy Savile will get to a conviction against their attacker".[12] https://www.acoupleofaveragejoes.com/
