A former radio DJ who was a friend of Jimmy Savile has been found guilty of a string of sex offences against girls as young as 12.
Ray Teret, 73, from Altrincham, was convicted of seven counts of rape and 11 counts of indecent assault at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court.
He abused girls aged between 12 and 15 during the 1960s and 1970s.
Teret, who was mentored by Savile in the early days of his career, was cleared of a number of other charges.
He was found not guilty of aiding and abetting Savile to rape a 15-year-old girl in the early 1960s.

But he was found guilty of raping the complainant himself, along with 17 other charges.
Teret gave no reaction as the verdicts were read out.
He will be sentenced next Thursday and was remanded into custody.
Nicholas Johnson QC, defending Teret, said he was now facing the prospect of serving a "very long time in prison".
Given his age, Mr Johnson asked the judge not to "quash any prospect that one day he might be released from prison."
