Brian Jessop was supposed to tell a special master about all his employment and what he was doing at each job, according to an order a federal judge issued in the spring of 2017.
But on Tuesday, Jessop testified in federal court about a series of construction projects for which he submitted bids, consulted on or visited. He never told the special master about them.
The Labor Department argues that both Jessop, his old company, Paragon Contractor’s Corp, and his brother’s company, Par 2 Contractors, are in violation of orders to stop using child labor and to report to the special master.
