A court has heard that Jimmy Saville and Ray Teret raped a 15 year old girl at a bedsit in Manchester in 1963.

The woman, who cannot be named, was 15 years old at the time of the alleged assault.

The witness was giving evidence in the trial of DJ Ray Teret. The 72-year-old, of Altrincham, Greater Manchester, denies 18 rapes and a string of other sex offences.

He is on trial with two other men at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court.

The alleged victim, now in her early 60s, told the court how she was in a nightclub with a friend when she was approached by Teret, who offered her a cigarette.

He then invited her back to a flat, she said.

She told the court: "We got into the flat and Jimmy Savile was in there. I couldn't believe it. I thought 'Oh my God'.

"Jimmy Savile asked me my name and I told him. Ray and Jimmy were arguing. Ray offered me a drink of Lucozade and I was told to sit down.

"The next minute Jimmy Savile came to sit next to me. He just touched my hair and then he put his hand up my skirt. I just said 'what you doing?'"

The court heard how Jimmy Savile raped the young girl.

In the recorded interview played to the jury, the witness said: "It was horrible, I just kept thinking 'what is happening to me?'. I was hurting and hurting and hurting."

The jury heard how Teret opened a white box which was in the middle of the room and pulled out a pair of black leather boots. She was then raped by Teret, the court heard.

The witness said: "I just wanted to go home. I just wanted to get out of the flat.

"Ray went over to the television and picked something up and said to me, 'get the bus home, I've got to get back to the club'."

The woman said she kept the alleged incident secret for 51 years until she saw television pictures of Teret arriving at court to attend his trial.

The trial continues.
