The women claim that Leto inappropriately behaved with them when they were teenagers, according to an exposé which was published by Air Mail on Saturday (7 June).
Leto, known for his roles in films such as Suicide Squad and Morbius, has denied all the allegations made against him, after the claims resurfaced in recent weeks.
American DJ Allie Teilz re-shared a post on Facebook from 13 years ago on Instagram, which alleged that she was assaulted by the actor and musician when she was just 17.
She also described his actions as 'predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.'

Teilz, now 30, said that Leto was aware of how old she was but simply 'didn't care', writing: "You’re not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… in a kilt… And a snow hat...
"I was assaulted and traumatised by this creep when I was 17."
Another alleged victim spoke to the publication, claiming that she was just 16 when the musician spoke with her at Urth Caffé, a popular European cafe in Los Angeles, back in 2006.
Saying that he would get her number and call her a few days later, she recalled: "I don’t know if he was on drugs or what… it was the weirdest, grossest voice… [but] for me, it’s Jared, you know?"
She added that their conversations would go on into the night, turning 'sexual', as he would ask if she'd had a boyfriend or performed oral sex.

Another anonymous woman said that she was approached by Leto at a club when she was 20, with his assistant getting her number before they 'hooked up a little' at the club.
But similar to the previous victim, she described him as 'weird', adding that while being 'kinky' is fine, she said that ‘his kind of kink … just didn’t feel right.’
Laura Le Rue, 33, came forward with accusations against the House of Gucci actor, claiming that they met at an animal rights event in 2008, when she was just 16, while he was 36.
She claimed that Leto was told her age, and he still asked for her number and invited her over.

La Rue said that he flirted with her the 'whole time' she was there, noting that he stripped down and walked into the room like nothing was wrong, with the model adding: "I thought maybe this was just what adult men do."
Another victim alleged that she sent and received flirtatious messages with Leto while she was underage, claiming that she too visited his home and remembered him asking sexual questions about her male friends and whether they had sex.
When this woman turned 18, she stated that their relationship went to the next level, claiming that Leto 'pulled his penis out and started masturbating.'
She said that he told her to 'spit on it' after he put her hand on it.
The original piece claims that Leto was 'known' to be interested in younger women.

Another woman told Air Mail that she remembers being 'physically ill to the point of throwing up' when she passed billboards for his films after their encounters.
She said she was 'wondering how everybody in LA knows.'
Speaking to Air Mail, a representative of Leto's stated: "Their (the women involved) communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate and Ms. La Rue later applied to work as Mr. Leto’s personal assistant, further underscoring the absence of anything inappropriate in any of their interactions."
La Rue denied applying for the job.
Leto's publicist added that the singer hasn't drank or taken drugs 'in over 35 years', after claims were made against him hosting parties that would feature a ratio of around 60 young women to four or five men.
Other claims state that people were encouraged to skinny dip at these parties.
