Jared Leto faces new allegations of assaulting four teenage girls
Developed over time first seen 10 hours ago
Actor and musician Jared Leto has been accused of criminal sexual misconduct by four women who allege the incidents occurred when they were teenagers, aged between 16 and 19 at the time. The claims add to long-running scrutiny of the Oscar winner and Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman's past conduct, though the reporting does not indicate that any criminal charges or legal proceedings have followed.
Among the specific allegations, one woman says she was sexually assaulted in a motel bathroom when she was 17, while another claims Leto threatened her with sexual assault at 19 after she was unexpectedly left alone with him in a hotel room. A third accuser alleges she had under-age sex with him in California at 17, which would amount to statutory rape, and says Leto "shrugged off" a conversation about the age of consent being 18. No further detail on the fourth accuser, the women's identities, or a response from Leto or his representatives has been reported.
