00:00He told me, I would like you to call me daddy, pretend to be a little girl or my little
00:05girl.
00:06Jared Leto is speaking out for the first time after being accused of sexual assault
00:10in a new BBC documentary. In it, four women accused Leto of assault when they were all
00:15teenagers. Leto tells Page Six in a statement, quote, I've never sexually assaulted anyone in
00:20my entire life. These claims are absolutely and categorically false. Multiple victims came
00:25forward in the BBC documentary using pseudonyms to conceal their identity. One victim claims Leto
00:30assaulted her in 2002 when she was 17 years old in a motel bathroom. Another woman says she met Leto
00:37at one of his 30 Seconds to Mars concerts when she was 17 and he was 34. She said they
00:43had sex
00:44after meeting and even alleges that Leto wanted her to call him daddy and to pretend to be his
00:48little girl. That woman said only as time went by did she realize how scary his behavior was.
00:53She said she went to Leto's house several times and accused him of shrugging off the fact that
00:58she was a minor when they had sex. Another victim said she received sexually explicit phone calls
01:03from Leto when she was 16 years old. She said in one of those phone calls, he suggested they have
01:08sex.
01:08Several other women in the documentary report that they received sexually explicit phone calls
01:12from Leto. One of the victims accuses Leto of grooming as well. Men who worked with Leto on tour
01:18also featured in the documentary. They said they were uncomfortable with the age gap between Leto and the
01:22girls he was inviting backstage to his dressing room. A man claimed that he saw one of the girls
01:27call her parents to pick her up after she spent an hour in Leto's bedroom at his house. This isn't
01:32the first time Leto's been accused of inappropriate sexual behavior with teenagers. These allegations
01:37go back over 15 years. Just last summer, a report by Air Mail had nine women come forward and accused
01:44Leto of behavior they described as predatory, terrifying, and unacceptable. At the time, he also faced
01:50accusations of flirting with teenagers. And back in 2005, a source told us that Leto was hitting on
01:55teenagers at a New York hotel. Back then, he was constantly texting 16 and 17-year-old girls.
02:01At the time, an insider called it really kind of creepy. No charges have been brought against Leto so
02:06far, but will more accusations come out after the documentary airs? Stay tuned to Page Six for more on
02:12this developing story.
