Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty of federal wire fraud after a jury deliberation of just three and a half hours in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They allegedly perpetrated a scheme involving defrauding luxury goods businesses, utilizing Kingston's celebrity status to acquire luxury items without payment. Kingston is under house arrest, while Turner is in federal custody due to flight risk. Both are scheduled for sentencing on July 11, with each facing a maximum of 20 years for each count.
During the trial, prosecutors alleged that the mother-son duo defrauded several luxury goods businesses using Kingston's celebrity status to convince retailers to deliver goods prior to payment.
Following their guilty verdict, Kingston was ordered to remain under house arrest with electronic monitoring, while his mother faced federal custody due to flight risk concerns.
