Renowned Singer, Sean Kingston, is sentenced to three and a half years in prison after being found guilty of a $1 million fraud scheme.
He was branded in court as a “thief and conman.”
The 35-year-old star, best known for his 2007 hit song “Beautiful Girls,” was convicted alongside his mother, Janice Turner, who is already serving five years.
Prosecutors said Kingston scammed victims by flaunting his fame to obtain luxury goods including a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade, designer watches, and a giant LED TV without paying.
He also used fake wire receipts and false promises of social media promotion to victimize his target.
A South Florida judge ordered his immediate remand, ignoring pleas from his lawyer for more time due to health concerns.
Kingston was arrested together with his mother in May 2024 during a dramatic SWAT raid on his Fort Lauderdale mansion.
