For any ring R (associative with 1) we associate a space X of prime torsion theories endowed with Golan's SBO-topology. A separated presheaf L(-,M) on X is then constructed for any right R-module M$ sb{ rm R}$, and a sufficient condition on M is given such that L(-,M) is actually a sheaf. The sheaf space rm E { buildrel{ rm p} over longrightarrow} X) etermined by L(-,M) represents M in the following sense: M is isomorphic to the module of continuous global sections of p. These results are applied to the right R-module R$ sb{ rm R}$ and it is seen that semiprime rings satisfy the required condition for L(-,R) to be a sheaf. Among semiprime rings two classes are singled out, fully symmetric semiprime and right noetherian semiprime rings; these two kinds of rings have the desirable property of yielding "nice" stalks for the above sheaf.
