Sean Kingston and Mother Ordered to Pay $38K Restitution After Fraud Convictions

Rapper Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Eleanor Turner, have been ordered by a federal judge to pay $38,500 in restitution to a victim identified only as “B.C.”, following convictions tied to a fraud scheme.

As previously reported, Kingston has begun serving a three-and-a-half-year prison term for his role in the scheme, while Turner has been sentenced to five years behind bars.

According to prosecutors, between April 2023 and March 2024, the duo acquired luxury goods by promising social-media promotion, then sent fake wire-transfer receipts when payments were due. In many cases, no real funds were ever transferred, leaving victims unpaid.
