July 29, (THEWILL) — Oscar-winning actor and musician Jared Leto has denied the sexual misconduct allegations made against him in the BBC documentary “Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret.”
In a statement released through his representatives on Wednesday, July 29, Leto said, “I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life. These claims are absolutely and categorically false.”
The statement follows the release of the documentary, which features interviews with 10 women who said they encountered Leto between 2002 and 2016, when he was in his 30s and 40s.
Four of the women accuse Leto of criminal sexual conduct, including allegations of sexual assault, statutory rape, grooming, and sexually explicit phone calls made when they were teenagers.
Six other women described separate encounters with the actor and musician during the same period.
The BBC said it verified parts of several accounts using photographs, text messages, and interviews with friends and family members.
The documentary also includes claims from former crew members of Leto’s band, ‘Thirty Seconds to Mars’, who said staff were uncomfortable with some of his interactions with teenage girls.
According to the BBC, Leto did not respond to its requests for comment before the documentary was released.
His statement issued on Wednesday marks his first public response to the allegations featured in the program.
Leto has previously denied similar allegations.
In 2025, nine women accused him of sexual misconduct in an ‘Air Mail’ investigation, claims his representatives also described as “categorically false.”
