Pearlman Under Investigation On Child Labor Law Violations

Associated Press reports the Florida Department of Labor is investigating the portly 47-year-old music impresario and his Orlando-based company, Trans Continental Entertainment, for possible violations of the state’s child labor laws. Pearlman said of the charges, “It sounds like someone has it in for us. It’s just preposterous.” Meanwhile, Merrily Goodell, mother of former Take 5 members Ryan and Clay Goodell charged, “Mr. Pearlman reminds me of the bully that runs around stealing kids’ milk money. You cower at his bullying behavior. It takes awhile, but one day you realize your life won’t be worth living until you face off with him.”
