Rapper Sean Kingston jailed after failing to post bail, awaiting sentencing for wire fraud
Failing to come up with bail, singer and rapper Sean Kingston is back behind bars, awaiting sentencing for last month's federal wire fraud conviction . The 35-year-old musician will remain in federal detention until his sentencing unless he can secure the money for the $100,000 bond. Kingston, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Their sentencing hearings are set for July 11. Prosecutors accused Kingston and Turner of orchestrating a scheme to obtain high-end items — including a luxury SUV, jewelry, expensive watches and a wall-sized TV — without paying for them. After his conviction in March , Kingston was immediately placed on house arrest. The judge rejected his request to travel for a scheduled performance in Texas, stating, "He's not going to Texas." Turner was promptly taken into custody, with the judge citing her past criminal history and significant role in the scheme, describing her as the "operator, fixer, and accountant" behind the fraudulent activity. Prosecutors described Kingston and Turner as "masters of deception and fraud." Authorities presented evidence showing the pair used fake wire transfer receipts as proof of payment. A key piece of evidence was a text message from Kingston to his mother that read: "I told you to make [a] fake receipt," followed by, "so it [looks] like the transfer will be there in a couple [of] days." During closing arguments, Turner's attorney claimed the alleged victims were "fraudsters" themselves. Kingston's attorney attempted to separate his client's public image from his finances, describing him as "a soft guy who grew up poor when he rose to fame overnight," with "no idea how to run a business [and] no idea how much money is in his bank account." Kingston was first arrested on May 23, 2024, at Fort Irwin, an Army training base in California's Mojave Desert, where he was performing. He waived his right to fight extradition and was returned to Florida. In addition to the federal charges, the two also face similar state charges. Kingston rose to fame with his 2007 No. 1 hit "Beautiful Girls" and later collaborated with Justin Bieber on "Eenie Meenie."

Sean Kingston and His Mother Found Guilty of Federal Wire Fraud
The post Sean Kingston and His Mother Found Guilty of Federal Wire Fraud appeared first on Consequence. Rapper Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, have been found guilty of federal wire fraud. The verdict — guilty on a total of five counts — was delivered Friday after three and a half hours of jury deliberation at the trial in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. During the trial, prosecutors alleged that the mother-son duo allegedly defrauded several luxury goods businesses in recent years, including a jewelry business, a luxury bed company, a used exotic car dealership, and a luxury microLED TV company. Now, Kingston has been ordered to remain under house arrest with electronic monitoring. He must also post a surety bond consisting of a home valued at $500,000 and an additional $200,000 in cash. Turner, on the other, was taken into federal custody over concerns that she'd be a flight risk. Both are set to be sentenced on July 11th and each count carries a maximum 20 year prison sentence. Kingston and Turner were arrested hours apart in May 2024. According to the federal grand jury indictment, the two had a system in which Kingston would use his celebrity status and online following to convince retailers to deliver luxury goods items prior to payment. Turner would follow up with the retailers with details, and payment would ultimately be made via fraudulent wire transfers. The scheme supposedly came to an end in March 2024. The mother-son duo pleaded not guilty to all counts, but to no avail. According to media reports, the two were in tears when their verdicts were read. Shortly after, Kingston hugged his mother as she was taken into custody, then thanked the judge for being fair, and declined to make any comments to the press as he left the courthouse in a Lamborghini SUV. Later on Friday evening, Kingston posted a photo of his mother on his Instagram story, with the caption, 'My only queen forever. Love you!!!! I promise you this is not the end!' with heartbroken and teary-face emojis. Kingston, now 35, rose to fame with '00s pop hits like 'Beautiful Girls' and the Justin Bieber-featuring 'Eenie Meenie.' More recently, he was featured on Chris Brown's Grammy Award-winning 2023 album, 11:11.

Rapper Sean Kingston 'Cries' In Court As He And His Mother Are Found Guilty Of Over $1M Fraud
Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, have been found guilty of orchestrating a fraud scheme that cost victims more than $1 million. While the ruling was read out, the rapper reportedly broke down in tears and pleaded with U.S. Marshalls to "protect my mother." Sean Kingston will remain in home detention until their sentencing date of July 11, while Janice Turner remains in custody because the judge regards her as a flight risk. Kingston and his mom Turner were yesterday found guilty in federal court of committing over $1 million fraud scheme. In their arrest warrant issued in October 2023, mother and son stood accused of defrauding a jewelry business, a luxury bed company, a used luxury and exotic car dealership, and a luxury microLED TV company. According to the Daily Mail, federal prosecutors said they unjustly enriched themselves by falsely claiming to have sent money for high-end luxury goods, even though the payments never went through. The elaborate con seemingly enriched them to the tune of over $1 million in property, including ripping off a car dealer for a $160K Cadillac Escalade and jewelers for $480K worth of jewelry, as well as a furniture company, all without paying. A jury found them guilty of all five charges leveled against them, with each of them facing up to 20 years in jail for each count. According to TMZ, Kingston was visibly emotional during the proceedings as he reportedly "cried" as the jury delivered the damning verdict. He's said to have pleaded with U.S. Marshalls to "protect my mother" when she was being escorted out of court. The 62-year-old would remain in custody until they're both sentenced on July 11 because the judge sees her as a flight risk, while Kingston would stay in home detention. The pair were originally arrested last May in Fort Irwin, an Army training base in California's Mojave Desert where Kingston was performing, on a warrant issued by the Broward Sheriff's Office. They later had their arraignment hearing before Broward Circuit Judge Ernest Kollra in August but pleaded not guilty. Kingston became much of a household name after his "Beautiful Girls" song hit the number-one spot in 2007, before collaborating with Justin Bieber on the 2010 song "Eenie Meenie." Turner seems to be a mother who'll put everything on the line for her child, including her freedom, as she admitted to carrying out the acts to "protect" Kingston. According to NBC Miami, when she took to the stand on day four of their trial, she admitted to sending fake wires from her bank account to pay people but claimed that it was all an attempt to protect him from being taken advantage of. Turner said she handles all of her son's business transactions and admitted to sending fake bank wires because he'd been taken advantage of before. She described herself as a "nonsense mother" and claimed that it'd always been her intention to pay back any debts. Kingston's defense team attempted to argue that he was "a child" and was seemingly unaware of the fraudulent activities as he didn't understand his finances. At the same time, they described Turner as a "fixer" and the "nerve center" of the criminal enterprise. However, the jury found these arguments unconvincing and convicted them both. This is not their first run-in with the law, as Kingston was already on two years probation for trafficking stolen property before his arrest. According to Federal Court records, Turner pleaded guilty in 2006 to bank fraud for stealing over $160,000 and served nearly 1.5 years in prison. They've also been sued by various businesses, including in 2015 when a customized watch vendor sued them in a New York City federal court for $356,000 after failing to pay, per the Daily Mail. Again, in 2018, a New York jeweler successfully sued them for $301,000 after they scammed the store of nine items. A Florida-based entertainment systems company also sued the singer in February for failing to pay $120,000 of a $150,000 bill for a 232-inch television it installed in his home.
