Jared Leto Accused of Sexual Misconduct by Four Women In New BBC Doc

Jared Leto faces new sexual misconduct accusations from multiple women, with some of the allegations occuring when the women were teenagers. On Wednesday, the BBC revealed that in total 10 women have come forward with allegations against the Oscar-winning actor and frontman of rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars as apart of a new BBC documentary, Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret. Four of the women have accused Leto of criminal sexual conduct, all occuring when they were teenagers, according to the BBC. The allegations against Leto, 54, all stem from incidents between 2002 and 2016. In the BBC report about the doc, one of the women claims she was sexually assaulted by Leto in a motel bathroom when she was 17. The second woman says Leto threatened her with sexual assault when she was 19, after being unexpectedly left alone with him. The third woman reveals she had sex with Leto when she was 17 in California, in a state where she would have been underage and the act classified as statutory rape. The third woman also claims she had a conversation with the actor about her age and he “shrugged off” concerns about California’s age of consent. The fourth woman claims she groomed by Leto, saying he “abused his celebrity status by making repeated sexually explicit phone calls to her when she was 16.” She adds that on at least one occasion, Leto suggested they should have sex. The fourth woman alleges that she was subsequently sent a non-disclosure agreement to prevent her from talking about her relationship with Leto, but that she refused to sign it. The BBC says it has seen the NDA. A fifth woman claims that when she was 14, Leto had made a lewd comment about her chest during an autograph-signing event and then instructed a security guard to take her backstage at a music festival. The woman claims her mother confronted Leto at the time, but the actor repeated the lewd comment. An additional four women claim they received calls from Leto when they were younger that were “strange and often very sexual.” The Hollywood Reporter reached out to Jared Leto’s reps for comment on the claims in the BBC doc, but had yet to hear back when this story was published. Sexual misconduct allegations have long dogged Leto. In June 2025, Leto‘s reps denied that the actor engaged in sexual misconduct or inappropriate relationships with women after an Air Mail exposé. That investigative report contained interviews with nine women, the majority of whom are anonymous. They alleged that Leto behaved inappropriately with them, and some say they were underage at the time they came in contact with the actor. The Air Mail piece also published a viral Twitter post shared by actor Dylan Sprouse in 2018. It reads: “Yo Jared Leto, now that you’ve slid into the DMs of every female model aged 18-25, what would you say your success rate is?” Filmmaker and DC chief James Gunn replied: “He starts at 18 on the internet?”
