Singer Sean Kingston sentenced to three and half years in federal prison for wire fraud

Sean Kingston has been sentenced to 42 months in a US federal prison following his conviction in a wire fraud case. The ruling, delivered Friday, August 15, in a Florida courtroom, comes months after the rapper and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty of orchestrating a scheme that defrauded businesses of more than $1 million.

Kingston, who faced a maximum of six years behind bars, received a sentence that fell between the requests of his defense team and federal prosecutors. His lawyers had urged the court to impose a term of two to two-and-a-half years, citing his previously clean record and community service efforts. Prosecutors, however, had pushed for a sentence closer to the statutory maximum.

The judge ultimately imposed a 3.5-year sentence. Turner, Kingston’s mother, received a five-year prison term in March.

Court records show the pair falsely claimed to have made money transfers to acquire jewelry, luxury vehicles and other high-value goods, but never completed the payments while retaining the items.

In addition to prison time, Kingston must repay his victims. His lawyers requested home confinement to allow him to generate income through music, with profits directed toward restitution.

Upon his release, Kingston will be subject to supervised release conditions. He is required to avoid unlawful drug use, submit DNA samples to his probation officer, and maintain lawful employment for at least 30 hours per week. His probation officer will also have authority to visit him at his residence or elsewhere without notice.

Kingston is scheduled to appear in court again on October 16 for a hearing on the repayment of victims.
