Sean Kingston and his mother found guilty, now facing 20 years behind bars
Sean Kingston and his mother Janice Turner were both found guilty Friday on all counts in a sweeping federal wire fraud case in Fort Lauderdale, Florida — a verdict that could land the once-chart-topping rapper and his mom behind bars for up to 20 years per charge.
The duo – accused of orchestrating a years-long scheme that defrauded luxury retailers, jewelers, banks, and high-end service providers out of more than $1 million – were convicted on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud following just three and a half hours of jury deliberation, NBC News reports.
