Description
Despite signing a court agreement that he would not enter into any business contracts, customers have sued Joshua Jessup for taking thousands of dollars and not completing construction work.
“He was a real charmer. He made us trust him,” said Christine Bauer, who won a lawsuit against Jessup this year for taking thousands of dollars and not completing a basement renovation.
Court records show Jessup agreed this month to pay Bauer $147,000 as part of the lawsuit.
The fact Jessup continues to get sued for business dealings appears to indicate he may be violating a court order he signed as part of his probation for felony theft.
"I mean I want to see him locked up,” said Przemek Lott who also recently sued Jessup for taking $80,000 and not completing basement renovations.
Bauer and Lott said they signed contracts with Jessup after finding his advertisements online for basement renovations. They both didn’t know about Jessup’s legal history with the criminal justice system at the time.
