Breaking News: Jared Leto Accused of Inappropriate Sexual Behavior with Minors
In a shocking revelation that has sent ripples through Hollywood, actor and singer Jared Leto has been accused by nine women of inappropriate sexual behavior with minors over several years. The accusations, detailed in a report published by Air Mail over the weekend, paint a disturbing picture of alleged misconduct that sources claim has been an open secret for a long time.
Accusations Detail Disturbing Pattern of Behavior
According to the report, one woman recounted meeting Jared Leto in 2006 when she was just 16 years old. The encounter allegedly took place at a coffee shop in Los Angeles, where the actor was accompanied by Ashley Olsen. The young woman claims Leto asked for her phone number and later called her, speaking in a strange and disturbing manner. She also described receiving late-night calls and sexually explicit conversations from the actor, which she found frightening.
Another accuser, model Laura Rue, detailed a meeting with Jared Leto in 2008 when she was 16 and he was 36. She alleged that he asked for her number despite knowing her age and later invited her to his home. At one point, she claims, he entered her room with his penis exposed, which she found shocking and upsetting.
Open Secrets and Patterns of Behavior
Sources quoted in the Air Mail report suggest that Leto’s behavior has been well-known within certain circles. Parties organized by the Thirty Seconds to Mars singer reportedly featured a disproportionate number of young women, with the apparent goal of encouraging nudity and swimming in his pool.
A spokesperson for Jared Leto has denied all accusations and stated that the actor has not consumed alcohol or drugs in over 35 years. They also disputed Laura Rue’s claims, asserting that their communications were not inappropriate and that she later requested to work as his personal assistant.
