News outlets in the United States reported on March 28, 2025, that artist Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, 61, were each found guilty on four separate counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to conduct wire fraud.
On July 11, the two will appear in the Florida courts to receive their sentences. The 35-year-old has been placed under house arrest until his sentence, while his mother has been placed under detention in a federal jail.
It is alleged that the artist and his mother defrauded banks and companies of thousands of dollars’ worth of jewelry and furnishings.

Hours after his mother was taken into custody during a raid at his rental property in Florida, Kingston was arrested in California in May of last year. To face the allegations, he was later extradited to Florida.
