"Beautiful Girls" singer Sean Kingston and his mom Janice Turner received a guilty verdict in their fraud court trial after being accused of scamming vendors out of $1 million worth of goods.
Guilty Verdict
The federal jury found Sean Kingston and his mother guilty of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and multiple counts of wire fraud on March 28 in a Florida courthouse. They face sentences in July.
Allegations of Fraud
The mother-son duo allegedly scammed $1 million worth of luxury items by falsely representing that they had made bank wire transfers. They were arrested following a raid at Kingston's Florida rental home.
Testimonies and Defense
During the trial, Janice Turner admitted to mishandling finances, alleging she created fake wire transfers to investigate vendors legitimacy. Kingston did not testify, while his attorney claimed he was naive to business practices.
Previous Arrests
Sean Kingston was originally arrested in May 2024, shortly after his mother. Both initially pleaded not guilty before changing their pleas in court.
