Rapper Sean Kingston has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison after being convicted of a $1 million fraud scheme in South Florida.
Kingston and his mother, Janice Eleanor Turner, were each convicted by a federal jury in March of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud.
A federal judge sentenced Kingston on Friday, weeks after sentencing Turner to five years in prison.
The two were arrested last year after a SWAT team raided Kingston’s rented mansion in suburban Fort Lauderdale.
Officials say Kingston used social media to arrange purchases of high-end merchandise. He or his mother would then send fake wire receipts and sometimes never pay.
