Sean Kingston and His Mother Indicted in $1 Million Fraud Scheme

Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, are accused of defrauding victims of expensive vehicles and jewelry, among other things.

Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, were indicted by a grand jury after being accused of committing more than $1 million worth of fraud. According to the United States Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida, the "Beautiful Girls" rapper, 34, and his mother, 61, appeared Friday in federal court after a grand jury in Miami returned an indictment accusing the mother-son duo of falsely claiming they sent bank transfers for high-end items such as specialty vehicles and jewelry, among other things. The U.S. Attorney's Office further states Kingston and Turner "unjustly enriched themselves by falsely representing that they had executed bank wire or other monetary payment transfers as payment for vehicles, jewelry, and other goods purchased by the defendants, when in fact no such bank wire or other monetary payment transfers had been executed by the purported banks, and thereafter the defendants retained or attempted to retain the vehicles, jewelry and other goods despite non-payment.
