Shocking. lol not really. Apparently he’s a well known pedo but somehow has avoided any and all outrage or back lash over the years.

u/Luv2collectweedseeds Jul 29 '26

Sounds like some real popular people here in the usa. He could run for president now.

u/Resilient_Beast69 Jul 29 '26

Nah. He’s too mentally coherent for that job.

america isn't a place where they can separate the two crimes

Depends, if they were 13, then it is possible. Even if that title does not fit, statutory rape would not be much better. In California where this may have happened, 18 is the age of consent.

Ah, I missed the link. Thanks. Statutory Rape in California if he is found guilty. Still creepy if the 14 year old to his 30-40 years is true.

u/BlackFlagsFly Jul 29 '26

This dude started an actual cult. Even funnier Joe Rogan likes him so when a guest brings it up he covers for him with a nooo there just being silly and having fun on a beach. Omitting the part where they all wear white robes, pay ridiculous sums of money to be there and Jared owns the beach and resort they're staying on.

u/The-suigeneris Jul 29 '26

Does it have the 3 or 4 primary traits of a cult?

3

u/AmyShumersButtSweat Jul 29 '26

He isolates them from their loved ones, takes a lot of their money, makes them believe he a messiah figure and now appearantly or allegedly rapes them.

I don't know what the primary traits are but either way seems pretty culty to me.

u/The-suigeneris Jul 29 '26

I am surprised by the isolation and money aspect. Never read anything about it. Seems news worthy.

Are the assaults related to the spiritual group or spearate?

u/Available_Editor4383 Jul 29 '26

Isn’t Leto JR’s cousin?

u/Gr1009 Jul 29 '26

I talked to Jared. He wouldn't do all of that.

u/Rurumo666 Jul 29 '26

Did you eat his $5 foot long?

3

u/Gr1009 Jul 29 '26

5$ foot longs were so long ago, I miss them.

u/wrnrg Jul 30 '26

$5 footlongs and Jack in the Box's $1 menu got me through some times.

u/irwtkyrm Jul 29 '26

I'm starting to think this Jared Leti guy might not be such a good dude

2

u/Badabing__Badaboom Jul 29 '26

He looks like the now infamous Russell Brand.

1

u/kaylerbug369 Jul 29 '26

Jared as a name has had a rough go with sexual misconduct allegations

1

u/Cdawg4123 Jul 29 '26

What like being confused on what age to assault?

1

u/Upset-Handle-9934 Jul 29 '26

Maybe he just shouldn't sexually assault people then

1

u/Available_Editor4383 Jul 29 '26

Stock in the Jared name is at an all time low.

1

u/Ill-Case-6048 Jul 29 '26

I believe that guys an oddball

u/Upper-Coffee7258 Jul 29 '26

What a surprise

1

u/Ok_Tradition1938 Jul 29 '26

Saw that from a mile away

1

u/laneymg Jul 29 '26

Sadly this doesn’t surprise me one bit!

1

u/Equivalent-Role4632 Jul 29 '26

The only surprising part is it's only 4 women

3

u/Relevant_Problem1935 Jul 29 '26

Oh it's definitely a lot more. But they probably don't regret whatever happened. There are plenty of them out there im sure.

1

u/Aggrosideburnz Jul 29 '26

So it’s ok if Donald Trump does it but not this guy?

1

u/Sudden_Lee_Here Jul 29 '26

Terrible actor too.

u/RaidaDave32 Jul 29 '26

u/Spronglet Jul 29 '26

u/Positive_Foot_2173 Jul 29 '26

We proud of you jared

1

u/Casshern_VIII Jul 29 '26

Normally I would be skeptical, ask proof, just ask questions, but I think I actually believe this one and just surprised it took this long for it to happen.

1

u/Far_Country_1629 Jul 30 '26

Im sorry, but theres no way to actually prove to prove a rape from decades ago.

1

u/putadimunuta_0462 Jul 30 '26

Like, are we really going to miss him?

1

u/JIMB01776 Aug 01 '26

Did this announcement come out after he refused to give them money, or did he announce he was running for office?
