That company was called Par 2. According to court documents, Par 2 had at least 19 employees who worked for Paragon, still used some forms with Paragon letterhead and began sending construct job bids to general contractors who didn’t even realize Jessop had formed a new company. Par 2 — like Paragon — also employed juveniles in ways that violated federal law.
And so, U.S. District Court Judge David Nuffer ruled Monday, Par 2 is a “successor” company to Paragon, and Par 2 and Jessop are in contempt of previous rulings against it forbidding the unlawful employment of children.
