Sean Kingston & His Mother Caught Up In Wire Fraud Charges

The 61-year-old mom and her 34-year-old son racked up five counts of wire fraud. In addition they got an extra count for conspiracy to commit fraud. In keeping with the Associated Press, a Miami grand jury returned the indictment earlier this month. The pair appeared in court for the primary time on Friday (July 19).

Kingston and Turner allegedly lived as much as the rumored 305 scammer’s fame. Officials claim they concocted a plan to steal jewelry, luxury whips, and other expensive goods from several businesses.

Prosecutors are hoping to prove that Sean and Janice would acquire luxury items under the misunderstanding that they sent the cash via wire transfer. Eventually, the companies discovered the payments were allegedly unsuccessful. Moreover, they didn’t return items following lack of payment. With this pricey alleged scheme, the members of the family copped greater than $1 million in property.

For instance, Sean Kingston and Janice Turner allegedly skirted off in a $160,000 Cadillac Escalade. Moreover, they nabbed over $480,000 price of bijou. Meanwhile, the automobile dealer and jeweler were left with their palms facing the sky. Furthermore, prosecutors say the pair defrauded banks—$100,000 from First Republic Bank and over $200,000 from Bank of America.A bedmaker can be reportedly owed $86,000 for customized services. All of this is claimed to have gone down between October and March.

Details On The Arrest Of Mother-Son Duo

Sean Kingston was arrested on May 23. Officials pulled up on the ‘Beautiful Girls’ singer in Fort Irwin, California. That occurred just hours after the Broward Sheriff’s Office raided his rented Fort Lauderdale home. Turner was also arrested that very same day.

If convicted on all six counts each, Sean and Janice could resist 20 years behind bars within the Sunshine State. Kingston’s lawyer, Robert Rosenblatt, reportedly left AP on read but previously told the outlet they’re “confident” the case will reach “a successful resolution.”
