A 17-year-old girl describes an assault in a motel
A woman named Isabel in the documentary claims to have met Jared Leto in 2002, when she was 17 and working in a Las Vegas boutique. After showing the actor and his friends around, she says she was invited to join him at a motel. The teenager recounts that Jared Leto asked her to go into the bathroom while he was showering. He then allegedly opened the curtain, began kissing her, and then grabbed her hand to masturbate.
"I don't think many words were exchanged. He opened the shower curtain and started kissing me."she recounts. The young woman claims to have panicked before managing to leave the room.
She claims to have had sexual relations with him when she was 17.
A second woman claims to have had a sexual encounter with Jared Leto at his California home when she was 17 years old. The actor was 34 at the time. She maintains that she told him her age before they had sex, but alleges that he downplayed the issue. In California, the legal age of consent is 18. If the allegations are substantiated, this encounter could therefore be considered a criminal offense. "That didn't seem to be a major concern for him."she claims. She also says that Jared Leto asked her to call him " dad " and to behave as "a little girl".
