A former DJ accused of raping a woman with Jimmy Savile has a previous conviction for unlawful sexual intercourse with an underage girl, a court has heard.
Ray Teret, 73, faces historical sexual allegations from 17 women who claim he sexually abused them between the 1960s and 1990s.
One alleged victim says she was raped aged 15 by Teret almost immediately after she was raped by Savile in a flat when the defendant had driven her from a disco.
Teret denies 18 rapes, two other serious sexual assaults, one attempted rape, 11 indecent assaults and two counts of indecency with a child.
Before he gave evidence at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, the jury was told he was convicted in March 1999 of having unlawful intercourse with a girl under 16.
The former Radio Caroline DJ, of Altrincham, Greater Manchester, had pleaded not guilty at Manchester Crown Court to the offence committed in February 1998.
In court on Wednesday, his barrister, Nicholas Johnson, said the woman who complained she had been raped by Teret and Savile said she had met Teret earlier on a Friday night in the 1960s at the Rialto club in Higher Broughton, Salford.
Teret said that was not possible as he did not work Fridays.
The alleged victim said Teret chatted her up on the dancefloor stage before he drove her in a green bubble car to a nearby property where Savile was.
Teret said club rules prohibited anyone from sitting on stage and would lead to ejection. He said he had never driven a green bubble car.
Mr Johnson asked him: "Did you ever take anyone back to a premises where Jimmy Savile was and both have sex with them?"
Teret replied: "I have never had sex with anyone in the same room and certainly not with Mr Savile."
The complainant told the jury that her grandmother later went down to the Rialto to confront Teret about what the complainant said had happened. Teret denied that had taken place.
He said: "No-one has ever approached me about anything like that at any time in my life."
Earlier in court, Teret said how he first met Savile in the late 1950s when the then Mecca dancehall manager presented him with £5 for winning a singing contest at The Plaza ballroom in Oxford Street, Manchester.
He was later given a job there as a cleaner, then a waiter at The Ritz ballroom in Manchester city centre before he was taught how to be a disc jockey at what became Jimmy Savile's Disc Club.
Mr Johnson asked him if there were rules at the club about fraternising with customers.
He replied: "When I first came in my job was to walk around and say good evening to everyone but we could not fraternise as in boyfriend/girlfriend ways."
Two other men are on trial with Teret. Alan Ledger, 62, from Altrincham, denies a serious sexual assault, an indecent assault and one count of indecency with a child.
A third defendant, William Harper, 65, of Stretford, denies one count of attempted rape. The trial continues.
