BBC Documentary Presents Multiple Sexual-Misconduct Claims Against Jared Leto

Overview

• The BBC released a documentary on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, that features testimony from ten women about encounters with Jared Leto between 2002 and 2016, nine of whom speak publicly for the first time.
• Four women in the film allege sexual crimes when they were adolescents, including claims of sex at 17, a sexual assault in a Las Vegas motel at 17, a threat after a 2013 London show when a woman was 19, and alleged grooming at 16.
• The documentary says producers reviewed photographs, messages and emails that corroborate parts of the accounts and that they saw at least one confidentiality agreement offered to a complainant.
• Jared Leto issued an immediate public denial through representatives, calling the allegations "absolutely and categorically false" and saying he has never sexually assaulted anyone.
• The film builds on 2025 reporting and a 2025 social-media post by DJ Allie Teilz that prompted others to speak out, includes former touring staff accounts about practices that made them uncomfortable, and may lead to renewed media and legal scrutiny though no convictions or prosecutions tied to the documentary have been reported.
