Friday, January 9, 2026 - Gospel singer Stacie Orrico has filed a lawsuit against her former manager, alleging that he subjected her to s3xual @buse when she was a minor and that executives connected to her record label failed to intervene. Orrico, who rose to prominence as a Christian music artist, claims in the suit that her former manager, Britt Ham, began acting inappropriately toward her when she was just 14 years old.
According to the filing, Orrico says Ham isolated her from
her parents under the pretense of daily Bible study sessions, during which he
allegedly engaged in inappropriate conduct. She says he pressured her to keep
the encounters secret, telling her that speaking out would damage her Christian
image. Orrico alleges that during a trip to Los Angeles in July 2001 for
concert rehearsals, Ham instructed her to come to his hotel room, where he
allegedly kissed her and touched her in ways she describes as s3xual. She
further claims he engaged in additional inappropriate acts during that visit.
Orrico says similar incidents occurred again the following
month at the same hotel. She also alleges that when she was 17, in 2003, Ham
engaged in penetrative s3x with her. The lawsuit states that other individuals
connected to her career were aware of the situation. Orrico claims that Greg
Ham, an executive with Electric and Music Industries (EMI), told her parents
that she and Britt Ham were engaging in inappropriate physical contact, and
later told police he knew they were involved in an unhealthy relationship. She
also alleges that another executive, Eddie DeGarmo, acknowledged knowing about
the conduct in 2002 but blamed her and warned that the situation could harm her
career.
EMI was later acquired by Universal Music Group, which is
why the company is named in the lawsuit. Orrico is suing for childhood s3xual
@buse, s3xual battery, negligence, and other related claims.
