Four women have accused actor and musician Jared Leto of criminal sexual conduct, with the offences taking place when the women were teenagers, according to a BBC investigation.
The allegations form part of BBC documentary Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret, with 10 women speaking to the programme-makers.
One woman accused Leto of sexual assault in a motel bathroom when she was 17. Another said Leto threatened her with sexual assault when she was 19 in London.
A third said she had underage sex with Leto in California when she was 17, which would be classified as statutory rape in the state. A fourth accused Leto of sexually explicit phone calls to her when she was 16.
All the alleged incidents took place between 2002-2016. The BBC said Leto did not respond to the allegations.
Leto won an Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, and also starred in films such as Blade Runner 2049, Morbius, Requiem For A Dream and American Psycho.
