奥斯卡奖获得者、摇滚乐队Thirty Seconds to Mars主唱杰瑞德·莱托(Jared Leto)遭四名女性指控犯罪性行为[1]。BBC纪录片《杰瑞德·莱托:好莱坞的黑暗秘密》汇集了十名女性的证词,其中四人描述了构成犯罪的具体事件,包括性侵、性威胁、性骚扰和诱导等指控[1]。这些事件涉及受害者在17至19岁时遭受的不当对待,发生于2002年至2016年间[1]。
指控涉及多起具体案例。一名受害者称在17岁时在汽车旅馆浴室遭到性侵[1];另一名19岁女性声称莱托威胁对她进行性侵,并强行将她单独留在酒店房间[1];一名17岁女性描述与莱托发生性关系,称其对年龄同意法律"耸肩而过"[1];一名16岁女性指控莱托进行多次露骨电话骚扰,并曾提议与其发生性关系[1]。此外,一名14岁女性称莱托在签名时在其胸部签名并评价"你有一对漂亮的胸部",随后强行指挥保镖带她后台[1]。
BBC已通过朋友和家人证实多名女性的说法,并查看了支持证词的图片和信息[1]。一名受害者曾收到莱托律师发来的保密协议但拒绝签署[1]。莱托对BBC提出的指控未作回应[1]。现年54岁的莱托在这些事件发生时约30至40多岁[1]。
Four women have accused Oscar-winning actor and Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto of criminal sexual conduct, according to allegations reported by BBC World [1]. The accusations encompass sexual assault, sexual threats, sexual harassment, and coercion, with incidents allegedly occurring between 2002 and 2016 when the victims were between 17 and 19 years old [1]. A BBC documentary titled "Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret" features testimony from ten women, four of whom describe specific incidents they characterize as criminal in nature [1].
The allegations include varied accounts of misconduct. One victim reported being sexually assaulted in a motel bathroom when she was 17 years old [1]. Another woman, aged 19, claimed Leto threatened her with sexual assault and forcibly confined her alone in a hotel room [1]. A 17-year-old described a sexual encounter with Leto, during which she alleged he dismissed concerns about age of consent laws [1]. A 16-year-old recounted multiple explicit phone calls from Leto proposing sexual relations [1]. Additionally, a 14-year-old stated that Leto signed his name on her chest while saying "you have a beautiful pair of breasts" and instructed security to bring her backstage [1].
During the alleged incidents, Leto was in his 30s and 40s; he is currently 54 years old [1]. BBC has corroborated accounts from multiple women through conversations with friends and family members, and has reviewed photographs and messages supporting the testimony [1]. Leto has not responded to the allegations presented by BBC [1]. One alleged victim received a non-disclosure agreement from Leto's lawyers but declined to sign it [1].
