Jimmy Savile's former flatmate and chauffeur has been charged with a
series of serious sex offences against young girls, it has emerged.
Ray Teret, 72, is charged with a total of 32 offences involving 15 different victims who accuse him of sexual abuse between 1962 and 1996.
The alleged offences were committed primarily in the Greater Manchester area.
Teret, of Altrincham, Greater Manchester was charged with 15 counts of rape of a female under 16, one count of rape, one count of attempted rape of a female under 16, six counts of indecent assault of a female under 16, three counts of indecent assault of a female under 14 and one count of gross indecency with a child under 13.
He also faces two counts of conspiracy to rape a girl under 16, one count of possession of extreme pornography, one count of possession of prohibited images and one count of possession of an indecent image of a child.
He is due to appear at Manchester City Magistrates Court on Saturday morning.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "A 71 year-old-man was re-arrested in connection with historic sexual offences against children when he answered his bail on Wednesday October 23.
"He was also further arrested in connection with a number of other historic sex offences against children.
"He remains in police custody for questioning."
DCI Graham Brock of Greater Manchester Police said: “This has been a complex investigation that was originally launched in October 2012 when an initial complaint was made to Greater Manchester Police.
“Since that time, we have carried out extensive and wide-ranging inquiries and interviewed a number of people as part of that investigation.
“It has been important those inquiries were carried out thoroughly so that, in consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, we have been able to secure a number of charges.
“We will continue to support all those women who have come forward and offer them whatever welfare they need through the use of specially-trained officers.”
As part of the investigation into Teret, William Harper, 65, of Stretford, Greater Manchester was charged with conspiracy to rape a girl under 16 and attempt rape of a female under the age of 16 and Alan Ledger, 62, of of Altrincham was charged with indecent assault of a female under 16 and aiding and abetting the rape of a female under 16.
Both Harper and Ledger are due to appear before Manchester City Magistrates' Court on 30 October.
Teret was arrested and bailed in November last year with another man on suspicion of historic rape following an investigation into three separate claims of sexual abuse.
Police emphasised that the accusations were not linked to the national inquiry into abuse by disgraced TV presenter Savile, with whom Teret worked and once shared a flat.
