NSPCC: Teret guilty of 'most horrendous abuse' of children

The NSPCC has described ex-Radio Caroline DJ Ray Teret as a "serial offender who committed a series of repellent sexual attacks on children over several decades".

The victims showed enormous courage in reliving their ordeals and have finally got the justice they deserve with these verdicts.

One victim said Teret followed prolific child abuser Jimmy Savile around 'like a shadow'. What Teret did, including raping a 15-year-old after she had been raped by Savile, has undoubtedly cast a very long and dark shadow over the lives of the victims, having a profoundly detrimental effect on them.

Teret committed the most horrendous abuse of children, and facilitated grotesque abuse against them by others. He treated impressionable, vulnerable girls as objects, commodities and pieces of meat to be passed around.

Some of his victims were initially star-struck and charmed by Teret and his friends, but this quickly turned into a horrific spiral of abuse.
