Ray Teret
Raymond Teret (24 October 1941 – 5 May 2021) was an English radio disc jockey and convicted sex offender.
Teret was closely associated with fellow DJ Jimmy Savile in the early 1960s, sharing a flat with him and working as Savile's support DJ, assistant and chauffeur. He joined Radio Caroline North in the mid-1960s. He later worked in a series of DJ- and media-related work, mainly on Piccadilly Radio in Manchester and Signal Radio in Stoke-on-Trent.
In December 2014, two years after Savile was posthumously exposed as a paedophile, Teret was convicted of rape and indecent assault, after having been already convicted of a similar count in 1999, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He died in prison in 2021, having served just over six years of his sentence.
Teret was born in Salisbury, Wiltshire. He grew up in Wythenshawe, attending Burnage Grammar School, gaining six O-levels.
He began work as a warehouse clerk, apprentice heating engineer and waiter at the Ritz Ballroom in Manchester. In the early 1960s, Teret met Jimmy Savile after winning the Savile-run singing contest at the Palace Theatre in Manchester. The two men later shared a flat on Great Clowes Street in Broughton, Salford, with Teret becoming Savile's support DJ, assistant and chauffeur.
Teret joined Radio Caroline North in the mid-1960s, where he became known as "Ugly" Ray Teret. His theme music was "Jungle Fever" by the Tornados, and he also used "The Ugly Bug Ball" by Burl Ives. After leaving Radio Caroline North in 1966, two years before it closed down, Teret worked in a series of DJ- and media-related work, mainly on Piccadilly Radio in Manchester and Signal Radio in Stoke-on-Trent.
In 1999, Teret was found guilty of unlawful sex with a 15-year-old girl.
On 9 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. The offences are alleged to have taken place in Trafford in the 1960s and 1970s against three women who were then children. The arrests were not part of Operation Yewtree, the investigation into the offences committed by Savile and others, though Teret had been a close associate of Savile.
