Jared Leto is denying allegations of criminal sexual conduct after four women accused the Oscar-winning actor and musician of offenses they claim occurred when they were teenagers.
Leto said in a statement, ‘I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life. These claims are absolutely and categorically false.’ The allegations are detailed in the new BBC documentary ‘Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret,’ which premiered Wednesday.
Allegations
According to the documentary, four women allege Leto engaged in criminal sexual conduct between 2002 and 2016, when the actor and Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman — now 54 — was in his 30s and 40s.
One woman alleged she had sex with Leto at his California home when she was 17 years old. Another woman alleged Leto sexually assaulted her in a motel in Las Vegas in 2002. A third woman alleged Leto threatened her with sexual assault after inviting her to a hotel room in London following a concert in 2013.
A fourth woman said Leto began grooming her when she was 16, made repeated sexually explicit phone calls to her, and on at least one occasion suggested the two have sex.
