Ricky Garcia – Sexual assault

In September 2019 Ricky Garcia sued ex-manager Joby Harte for sexual assault. According to Garcia, the assault began when he was 12 years old, continued for years, and passed him around as a “sexual plaything” to other industry pedophiles. 

The lawsuit claims that the manager used the “well-worn pedophile playbook of grooming and seduction” first by having conversations with Garcia about sexuality, showing him p**n, and later plying him with alcohol before raping him. It further claims that Harte sexually assaulted him “on a weekly basis” by the time Garcia was 16 years old.

The suit added that Garcia did not tell anyone about the abuse until March 2018 because he was afraid to lose his career. He then first told Harte’s former assistant, who told Garcia’s mother. 

Ricky Garcia – Net Worth, Salary

His net worth is estimated to be around $1m while his annual salary is still under review and will soon be updated.
