Rapper and singer Sean Kingston and his mother have been indicted in South Florida on federal charges of committing more than 1 million worth of fraud.
Kingston, 34, and his mother, 61yearold Janice Turner, made their first appearances Friday in federal court, according to court records. A Miami grand jury returned an indictment earlier this month accusing Kingston and his mother of participating in a scheme to defraud victims of highend specialty vehicles, jewelry and other goods through the use of fraudulent documents.
Kingston was booked into the Broward County jail on similar state charges last month following a May 23 arrest at Fort Irwin, an Army training base in Californias Mojave Desert where he was performing. Turner was arrested the same day as her son, when a SWAT team raided his rented mansion in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
According to the federal indictment, Kingston and Turner falsely claimed that they had executed bank wire or other monetary payment transfers for highend items when no such transfers had taken place. Investigators said Kingston and Turner then kept over 1 million worth of fraudulently purchased items despite not paying for them.
