US rapper Sean Kingston sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for $1 million fraud scheme

The 35-year-old was convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud, alongside his mother Janice Eleanor Turner.

The rapper Sean Kingston was sentenced to three and a half years in prison on Friday after being convicted of a $1 million (£738,000) fraud scheme.

The 35-year-old, whose legal name is Kiesan Paul Anderson, and his mother Janice Eleanor Turner, were both convicted in March for conspiracy to commit wire fraud plus four counts of wire fraud.

Turner was sentenced to five years in prison last month, while her son’s sentencing was rescheduled.

The pair were both arrested in March 2024 after a Swat team raided Kingston’s rented mansion in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
