The Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that Oscar-winning actor and musician Jared Leto is not currently under active criminal investigation by law enforcement authorities in Los Angeles. The official clarification follows a wave of public claims and media reports detailing allegations of sexual assault and sexual misconduct brought by multiple women involving encounters spanning several years. Law enforcement sources confirmed that no active open cases or official sexual assault reports against Leto exist within current LAPD record databases. Law enforcement officials conducted a direct record search connected to Leto’s former residential property in Los Angeles, where an alleged incident reportedly took place in 2006. The official search yielded no corresponding police reports filed with the department for that specific location or allegation. Additionally, representatives from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office stated that law enforcement agencies have presented no recent criminal cases regarding Leto for prosecution review. Prosecutors previously reviewed one case file submitted by investigators involving an alleged victim, which was officially declined for formal criminal charges due to insufficient evidence. The legal clarification comes amid public statements from several women accusing Leto of sexual assault, attempted coercion, and sexual misconduct occurring when the accusers were teenagers or young adults. Leto has categorically denied every accusation, releasing statements through his legal representatives asserting that he has never sexually assaulted anyone and declaring the public claims entirely false. Authorities confirmed that inquiries remain pending with external agencies, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, to verify whether any separate records or open filings exist outside LAPD jurisdiction
