Rebecca Black arrives at the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards held at Staples Center on Feb. 12, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

A veteran music manager was charged with four counts of violating the Talent Scam Prevention Act, according to city attorney Mike Feuer at a press conference in L.A. on Friday (Jan. 23).

Over the years, Baum has managed acts such as Paula Abdul, Tears for Fears and even took on Rebecca Black after "Friday" exploded (Black says Baum stopped managing her in June 2013). Baum also served as a music supervisor on a number of films, from A Walk to Remember to The Box.

According to a press release from the Los Angeles city attorney's office, Baum allegedly recruited a 19-year-old from a hair salon in 2012 and signed her to a $10,000-a-month management contract -- before terminating the contract just months later. The Talent Scam Prevention Act attempts to protect people from managers who charge up-front representation fees.

If convicted, Baum could face up to two years in jail and $20,000 in fines. Her arraignment is set for Feb. 5. Billboard reached out to Baum for comment.
