Rapper Sean Kingston Faces Sentencing in $1M Fraud Case
Rapper Sean Kingston will be sentenced in South Florida on Friday after being convicted in a $1 million fraud scheme involving luxury goods. Kingston, whose real name is Kisean Paul Anderson, and his mother, Janice Eleanor Turner, were found guilty in March of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud. Prosecutors say the pair used social media to lure sellers of high-end merchandise with promises of promotion, then sent fake wire receipts instead of payment. Turner was sentenced last month to five years in prison, and Kingston could face a lengthy sentence of his own.
