Lou Pearlman the pervy paedophile

This latest report from several former musicians in which worked for Louis J. Pearlman comes as no big surprise to me. Long ago I worked for a talent company in Orlando in which was bought by Lou Pearlman. I worked in a department with several of Lou’s employees from Trans Continental Records. Some of these employees had worked for Lou for as many as 15 years. A lot of them often joked about how Lou was gay. The running joke at the office was to NEVER go swimming in his pool.According to a new report, Lou liked to molest young members of his band. Lou would often have sleep overs at his 7.1 mansion in Orlando, FL, which has recently been sold by the bank in an attempt to recover some of the money that Lou stole from investors.

“I would absolutely say the guy was a sexual predator. All the talent knew what Lou’s game was,” Steve Mooney, an aspiring singer who was Pearlman’s assistant, told VF’s Bryan Burrough. “Some guys joked about it. I remember [one singer] asking me, ‘Have you let Lou [fellate] you yet?’ ”

Lou Pearlman has been charged running one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in United States history. Lou Pearlman took hundreds of millions of dollars from investors and just moved it around without investing it, taking at least $150 million for himself. He was on the run from the law for eight months on that charge, having been seen in June Indonesia by German tourists, who tipped off authorities. This guy is going to spend the rest of his life behind bars. I have a feeling that new charges may arise from former band members families that may be related to sexual activity that happened in the past as well.
