Jared Leto has been accused of assaulting four women when they were in their teens, according to a new BBC report.
The women, who are unnamed in the July 29 report, detailed alleged incidents with the "Suicide Squad" actor, including one woman who alleged the actor sexually assaulted her in a motel bathroom when she was 17, and another who said she had underage sex with the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman in California when she was 17, which would be considered statutory rape in the state.
A third woman said Leto threatened her with sexual assault when she was 19, and a fourth recalled receiving sexually explicit phone calls from the "Tron: Ares" star when she was 16, with him suggesting they have sex at least once.
USA TODAY has reached out to
Leto's reps for comment. The actor also did not respond to BBC's request.
The allegations in the report, as detailed in the BBC investigative documentary "Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret," are among 10 women with allegations against Leto, regarding incidents between 2002 and 2016, when he was between 30 and 44.
The allegations detailed by the BBC come over a year after a report published by Air Mail, in which multiple women alleged the actor, now 54, behaved inappropriately with them when they were teenagers. A representative for Leto told Air Mail at the time that "all of the allegations are expressly denied."
Nine women made allegations to Air Mail at the time. But the BBC says nine of the women in their documentary are sharing their allegations publicly for the first time. The British news outlet says they have corroborated multiple claims with family and friends, and in some cases, observed pictures and messages supporting their stories.
The documentary also features interviews with two men who worked with Leto's alternative rock band "for many years." The men alleged that Leto would invite teen girls backstage or to a house where he would record music, which would make the men uncomfortable as "the age gap was way too big."
Leto won the best supporting actor Oscar in 2014 for "Dallas Buyers Club," and has also starred in films like "Morbius" and "House of Gucci." Leto and his older brother, Shannon Leto, are the only remaining active members of their award-winning band.
