In a shocking turn of events, rapper and singer Sean Kingston, known for his hit song "Beautiful Girls," and his mother, Janice Turner, have been charged with multiple crimes related to an organized scheme to defraud. Arrest warrants released by the Broward County Sheriff's Office indicate that the duo allegedly engaged in fraudulent activities, including stealing money, jewelry, a Cadillac Escalade, and furniture, amounting to over a million dollars.

The 34-year-old Kingston and his 61-year-old mother were apprehended on Thursday following a SWAT team raid at Kingston's rented mansion in Fort Lauderdale. Turner was taken into custody during the raid, while Kingston was arrested at Fort Irwin, a military training base in California's Mojave Desert, where he was performing at the time.

Kingston is currently being held at a California jail, awaiting his extradition back to Florida. His attorney, Robert Rosenblatt, stated on Friday that Kingston is prepared to return to Florida voluntarily, saving the state the cost of extradition and travel expenses for detectives and himself.

Turner, on the other hand, is being held at the Broward County jail with a bond set at $160,000.

While the warrants do not provide specific details about the alleged crimes committed by Kingston and Turner, they reveal that between October and March, the mother-son duo is accused of stealing nearly $500,000 in jewelry, over $200,000 from Bank of America, $160,000 from an Escalade dealer, more than $100,000 from First Republic Bank, $86,000 from a custom beds manufacturer, and several smaller amounts.

This is not the first time legal issues have plagued Kingston and his mother. Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Anderson, was already on probation for trafficking stolen property. Details of his previous conviction remain undisclosed.

Court records show that Turner pleaded guilty in 2006 to bank fraud, resulting in her serving almost 1.5 years in prison for stealing over $160,000.

In addition to these criminal charges, Kingston and Turner have faced civil lawsuits. In 2015, a seller of customized watches successfully sued them in a New York City federal court for $356,000 after they failed to pay. Similarly, in 2018, a New York jeweler won a lawsuit against the mother-son duo, demanding $301,000 for scamming the store out of nine items.

As the legal proceedings continue, Kingston and Turner are expected to appear in court to address the charges against them. Rosenblatt expressed confidence in a successful resolution for his clients.

The news of these allegations has shocked the entertainment industry and fans alike, as Kingston's musical career had been widely celebrated. However, this recent turn of events places significant scrutiny on him and his mother, leaving many questioning how they found themselves entangled in such serious criminal charges.
