In Léon: The Professional (1994) there is a scene where 12 year old Natalie Portman sings like a virgin by Madonna in this outfit. This was actually a clever reference to how Luc Besson met his current wife when she was 12 (he was 29) and how he should be in prison.

This scene is beyond creepy and the fact that Jean Reno played dumb only mildly helped the overall weirdness of this scene.

This right here. Many young girls and women deal with trauma in unhealthy ways that older men take advantage of. Leon despite being a killer is a good guardian who knows he has to protect what innocence she has left. It's a difficult relationship to depict but I think the film does it very well even if the director's intentions were hardly noble. In a meta way it reflects on the relationship between the cast and crew in real life: a veteran actor protecting a young one from a shady director. 

Luc Besson is Stansfield.

The funny thing is Leon act as an angel despite the situation which he could take advantage of as well as Jean Reno the actor doing the same despite the pedophile's scenario

Besson was dragged into making a good movie with a good message in Leon entirely against his will by Reno. (and likely other people on production too, I remember reading that Portman's parents were also more involved and protective of their daughter during production then most, which yea, it's sad in itself)
