Story summary

Four women have accused actor Jared Leto, frontman of the band Thirty Seconds to Mars, of criminal sexual conduct in a new BBC documentary. The allegations claim that the offenses occurred when the women were teenagers, between 2002 and 2016, while Leto was in his 30s and early 40s. According to the documentary, four of the ten women interviewed describe what they characterize as criminal behavior involving Leto. One woman alleges she was sexually assaulted in a motel bathroom at age 17, another claims Leto threatened her with sexual assault when she was 19, while a third describes having underage sex with him in California. A fourth woman says she was groomed by Leto and received repeated sexually explicit phone calls** from him when she was 16. Leto's representatives have denied the allegations, but he has faced similar accusations of sexual misconduct before.
