Four women accuse Jared Leto of criminal sexual conduct
The BBC says 10 women described sexual assault, grooming and threats, and corroborating messages and witness accounts supported parts of their claims.
- On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, the BBC released the documentary 'Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret,' featuring 10 women accusing Oscar-winning actor Jared Leto of sexual misconduct and grooming between 2002 and 2016.
- Following a June 2025 Air Mail exposé featuring nine women, the BBC reports over 120 separate online allegations regarding Leto's conduct toward women; DJ Allie Teilz's 2012 social media post prompted additional accounts to surface.
- Corroborated by text messages, photographs, and family accounts, the documentary details a 2002 motel assault allegation and a claimed statutory rape in California; Leto's representatives labeled all claims 'categorically false.'
- Two former Thirty Seconds to Mars employees told the BBC that staff felt uncomfortable with Leto's interactions with teenage girls, while his representatives stated via Variety, 'I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life.'
- Spanning 2002 to 2016, the alleged incidents involve accusers aged 14–19; California law classifies sexual contact with minors under 18 as statutory rape, placing Leto's reported behavior under renewed legal and public scrutiny.
