Singer Sean Kingston has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for his role in a $1 million fraud scheme involving luxury goods.
Kingston, whose real name is Kisean Paul Anderson, was convicted in March alongside his mother, Janice Eleanor Turner, on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud. Turner was sentenced last month to five years in prison.
Prosecutors said Kingston used his celebrity status to obtain high-value items, including a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade, luxury watches, and a 19-foot LED television, without paying for them. Court records showed he presented falsified wire transfer receipts and lured sellers with promises of social media promotion.
