Sean Kingston and mother indicted on wire fraud charges

Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, have been indicted on multiple counts of wire fraud, facing potential decades-long prison sentences if convicted.

According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Florida, on Friday, July 19, a Miami grand jury charged them with defrauding sellers of luxury goods exceeding $1 million through fraudulent documents.

The mother-son duo allegedly falsely represented bank transfers to acquire high-end vehicles, jewelry, and other items.

According to arrest warrants from the Broward County Sheriff's Office reviewed by PEOPLE, Kingston and Turner allegedly stole nearly $500,000 worth of jewelry, $160,000 from an Escalade dealer, $86,000 from a custom bed maker, and more.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida stated, "Through the execution of this scheme, the defendants obtained in excess of $1 million in property."

This indictment follows their earlier arrests on similar charges.

Kingston, who was previously on probation, has not directly addressed the latest charges but hinted at new music on social media.
