Campaigners call for Jared Leto's concerts to be cancelled after criminal sexual conduct claims
The musician - who denies the claims - is due to perform with his band at two of the UK's biggest arenas next year.
Campaigners are urging the cancellation of upcoming concerts by rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars in the UK after allegations of criminal sexual conduct were made against frontman Jared Leto. The End Violence Against Women coalition and Women's Aid have expressed concerns about the planned events in London and Manchester, urging organizers not to proceed with them.
The alleged misconduct, which includes sexual assault and grooming, took place when the victims were teenagers and Leto was in his 30s and 40s during the 2000s and 2010s. He is currently 54 years old. Ten women have spoken to the BBC documentary about the allegations, with nine sharing their stories publicly for the first time. Leto has strongly denied the claims, stating that they are "absolutely and categorically false."
