One woman, identified as Isabel (not her real name), claimed she was assaulted in a “dingy, gross motel” by the Oscar winner, 54, in 2002, when she was 17 and he was in his 30s.
She alleged that the actor and musician then used her hand to masturbate himself. She left the room shortly after, she said, and only later found out that Leto was in his 30s.
A second woman alleged that the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman threatened her with sexual assault when she was 19, a third woman claimed he had sex with her when she was 17 and legally a minor in the state of California, and a fourth accused Leto of grooming her when she was 16.
Leto denied the accusations in statement shared with Us, stating, “I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life. These claims are absolutely and categorically false.”
Alex, who was 19 at the time, said she was worried about having no cash and her phone battery dying and asked Leto if he had a phone charger or money so she could get home, but he allegedly said no to both. She claimed that she then inquired if she could sleep on the chaise longue in Leto’s room and that he responded that she would wake up with a “d*** in her ass” if she did.
Clara, meanwhile, alleged she had sex with Leto at his house in California multiple times when she was 17 and he was 34. She claimed she had a conversation with Leto about the age of consent — which is 18 in California — and he “just kind of shrugged it off, like it wasn’t a huge concern for him.”
