After more than a year and a half of research into sexual abuse allegations against Jared Leto, the
BBC reporters want to continue their investigation believing there are more victims than the more than 10 women who’ve accused the actor of sexual misconduct.
The documentary, “Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret” has exposed the musician and actor as an alleged sexual predator from at least 2002 until 2016. In the film, a total of 10 women recount allegations of sexual assault, along with inappropriate text messages, phone calls and behavior that occurred from 2002 to 2016. Leto has denied the allegations.
According to the LA Times, “The initial investigation began in London and the filmmakers visited Los Angeles twice in the months that followed. The first interview was with a woman named Alex last fall. In the documentary, the former model recalls being invited to a 30 Seconds to Mars concert at London’s O2 in 2013 (Leto is the band’s frontman). She says his female assistant then brought her to an afterparty at the members’ club Shoreditch House. Although she was 19 at the time, she told Leto she was 17 to protect herself. She says the musician, then 41, replied, “Age is just a number, and, anyway, we’re in Europe.”
Alex was sent by Leto’s assistant to another afterparty at a nearby hotel, but Leto was the only one there, she says. Alex asked for a phone charger and cash for a taxi home, but was denied. When she asked if she could crash on the sofa in the hotel room, she says Leto threatened to rape her.”
Thus far, Leto faces no criminal charges.
