Ray Teret 'wrecked my life' says woman raped at 12

A woman who was repeatedly raped as a teenager by Ray Teret has described how he "wrecked" her life.

The former DJ and friend of Jimmy Savile abused 11 girls aged between 12 and 15 between 1962 and 1979.

One of Teret's victims, who has asked to be known only as Cathy, has decided to waive her anonymity.

Teret first raped her when she was 12 in 1972, with the abuse continuing for a number of years.

She told the BBC's Judith Moritz that she approached the police and social services 20 years ago to alert them, but "nobody would listen".

"We need support, and we need hearing, and we need justice,'' she said.
