Mr Ledger denies a series of assaults while Mr Harper denies one count of attempted rape. The court also heard how one complainant aged 12 or 13 met Mr Teret regularly at his flat.
Mr Evans said that on one occasion Mr Teret committed a serious sexual assault on her while his co-defendant Alan Ledger, at the time a club DJ, held down her hands.
The complainant later told police of a wall in Mr Teret's flat with graffiti on it which contained names, messages and phone numbers.
The prosecutor said the jury would hear that, years later, the police were able to find such a wall and photographs of it would be shown during the trial.

One of those friends went on to be abused at the age of 13 by Mr Teret and Mr Ledger, according to the prosecution.
Mr Evans said this complainant was another "young, naive, vulnerable" girl who was "to a greater or lesser extent starstruck and charmed".
'Consistently pursued'
Another complainant said she was raped aged 13 by Mr Teret and that on a separate occasion Mr Harper - a DJ and presenter who went by the stage name of Tony Grey - attempted to rape her.
Mr Evans said the girl was sent by Mr Teret on "a false errand" to collect a book from the home of Mr Harper who tried to have sex with her before it is said his mother interrupted him.
The prosecution also outlined a string of other alleged offences by Mr Teret, including the rape of a 13-year-old girl he met while compering a talent show and the indecent assault of a 15-year-old in his car.
When interviewed by police following his arrest, Mr Teret said teenage girls did nothing for him, the court heard.
But Mr Evans told the jury: "In light simply of the evidence you will hear in this case, the Crown say that young teenage girls, far from doing nothing for him, were consistently pursued by him through the '60s and '70s."
Some of the three men's alleged victims had had counselling, Mr Evans told the jury, while some had not.Some of the three men's alleged victims had had counselling, Mr Evans told the jury, while some had not.
