ACTOR Jared Leto has denied historical claims of sexual misconduct.
The star, 53, was accused by nine women, including some who were teenagers at the time.
But he has rebuffed the Air Mail report in which model Laura La Rue said she was just 16 when the then 36-year-old began messaging her.
Describing a visit to his home, she said: “He was flirting with me.
“He’d lean in close, then pull away.”
She says he later emerged from a room naked.
La Rue said: “I thought maybe this was just what adult men do.”
Leto starred as The Joker in Suicide Squad and won an Oscar and Golden Globe for Dallas Buyers Club.
He is also the frontman to rock band Thirty Seconds To Mars.
His representative said: “Their communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate and Ms La Rue later applied to work as his personal assistant.”
La Rue denied she ever applied for the job.
