The allegations, detailed in a BBC documentary, span from 2002 to 2016 and include claims of sexual assault and grooming.

One woman alleges she was sexually assaulted by Leto in a motel bathroom at age 17.
Another claims that at 19, she was threatened with sexual assault after being left alone with him in a hotel room.
A third woman described having underage sex with Leto in California at 17, which would be statutory rape under state law.
The fourth accuses him of grooming through repeated sexually explicit phone calls at age 16 and refusing to sign a non-disclosure agreement regarding their relationship.
The BBC corroborated several accounts through messages, photographs, and testimonies from friends and family.
Two former band crew members expressed discomfort over Leto's interactions with teenage girls, noting that young women were often invited backstage or to the band’s recording locations.
"Age is just a number, and anyway, we’re in Europe," Leto reportedly told one woman who raised concerns about the age of consent, according to the documentary.
Isabel, who alleges assault in 2002 at age 17, described the incident occurring in a "dingy gross motel" after meeting Leto at a Las Vegas hotel.
