What did the accuser say Jared Leto asked her to do?
According to Page Six, Clara described the request in the BBC film Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret.
"He told me, 'I would like you to call me daddy,'" she claimed. "And it was either pretend to be a little girl or 'my little girl.'"
She said she was "so naive and vulnerable" then and only later grasped how "scary" the alleged behavior felt. She also alleged she visited his house three or four times.
Why does California's age of consent matter in this account?
Clara said she was 17 and Leto was 34 when they allegedly had sex at his California home after a concert, with her friend waiting in another room. California's age of consent is 18.
She further claimed the Oscar winner "shrugged off" a conversation about that law. "It wasn't a huge concern for him," she alleged, adding that no "well-adjusted man in his 30s" would see a teenager as "a great partner."

How many women accuse Leto in the BBC documentary?
Clara is one of four women—also identified as Alex, Isabel, and Etta—who do not use their real names in the documentary. Their allegations concern alleged misconduct when they were teenagers, spanning roughly 2002 to 2016.
Isabel alleged sexual assault in a motel bathroom when she was 17 in 2002. Alex claimed Leto threatened her with sexual assault when she was 19 after she was left alone with him in a hotel room in 2013. Etta accused the Fight Club actor of grooming her at 16 through repeated sexually explicit calls and at least one suggestion they should have sex.
The film also includes four other women who said they got unusual, often sexually explicit calls from Leto when younger, plus two men who worked with Thirty Seconds to Mars who said staff were uneasy about his interactions with teenage girls backstage or at a recording house.
How has Jared Leto responded to the allegations?
Leto, 54, denied all the accusations in a statement to Page Six. "I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life," he said, calling the claims "absolutely and categorically false."
He has faced prior allegations as well. Last year, Los Angeles DJ Allie Teilz claimed on social media that Leto assaulted her when she was 17, after which nine more women accused him of sexual impropriety in an Air Mail report in June 2025. Leto vehemently denied those claims. A source also told The Post in September 2005 that he was approaching and texting teenage models at New York's Maritime Hotel.
