Sean Kingston and His Mother Found Guilty of Wire Fraud Scheme

They both are facing decades in prison.

Rapper Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty of all counts of wire fraud in their trial on Friday. Kingston is most well-known for hits like “Beautiful Girls,” “Take You There” and his feature on Justin Bieber’s “Eenie Meenie.” He was arrested in May in California after a SWAT team raided his home in Southwest Ranches, Florida. During the trial, CBS reported a crucial piece of evidence was Kingston texting his mom: “I told you to make [a] fake receipt,” followed by, “so it [looks] like the transfer will be there in a couple [of] days.”
