Actor and musician Jared Leto is facing allegations of sexual misconduct from a total of ten women, with four newly detailed accusations involving interactions when they were teenagers. The BBC reports that these four women allege criminal sexual conduct by Leto. In response, Leto has denied the claims, stating through his publicist, “I have never sexually assaulted anyone.”
The New York Post reported on allegations made in a documentary titled “Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret,” detailing accusations that Leto ‘approached’ and ‘texted’ underage girls nearly two decades prior to the more recent claims of sexual misconduct. The BBC also reports these initial allegations were made by four women who said they were teenagers at the time.
The allegations span a period of years, with details emerging from multiple accusers. Deadline reported Leto's denial came in a statement issued through his publicist. No further details regarding the nature of the alleged misconduct beyond the characterization of “criminal sexual conduct” have been released by the BBC or other sources.
The actor’s response is a blanket denial, and does not address specific allegations. The claims are currently under scrutiny, with no indication of legal action taken as of this reporting.
