Sean Kingston and Mother Charged With Fraud in Alleged $1 Million Scheme

Sean Kingston and his mother were indicted on $1 million fraud charges, over a month after the singer was arrested after a show in California.

Sean Kingston and his mother Janice Turner have been indicted for federal charges of committing more than $1 million in wire fraud. The two allegedly took part in a “scheme to defraud victim sellers of high-end specialty vehicles, jewelry, and other goods purchased by the defendants through the use of fraudulent documents.” Anderson and Turner, according to the indictment filed on July 11, “enriched themselves by falsely representing that they had executed bank wire or other monetary payment” on those hefty purchases but never sent the money.
