A third, identified in the programme as Clara, alleged Leto had “shrugged off” a conversation about the age of consent being 18 in California when he had sex with her at the age of 17, and claimed he asked her to call him “daddy” while pretending to be a “little girl” or “my little girl”.
A fourth woman claimed he had groomed her, using his celebrity status to make repeated sexually explicit phone calls to her when she was just 16, and suggested at least once that they should have sex.
The latter accuser was sent a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to prevent her from talking about their relationship, which has been seen by the BBC, but she refused to sign it.
Another woman, identified as Alex, was 19 when she met Leto but “felt the need” to pretend to be younger in order to protect herself – but she alleged he was dismissive when she told him she was 17.
She claims he said: “Age is just a number, and anyway, we’re in Europe.”
Four other women in the documentary described receiving strange and typically very sexual phone calls from the star when they were younger, while one female recalled how her mother confronted the star after he instructed a security guard to take her backstage at a music festival, having made a lewd comment towards the then-14-year-old during an autograph signing.
Documentary-makers corroborated a number of the women’s accounts with their friends and family who were told at the time, and also saw pictures and messages that backed up some of the stories.
According to the BBC, more than 120 allegations have been made online concerning the actor’s behaviour towards women.
