American rapper and singer Sean Kingston had his mum, Janice Turner, have been found guilty of wire fraud and they could spend up to 20 years in prison for the crime

Back in July, the pair were convicted of wire fraud

Rapper Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, have been found guilty of wire fraud. The case involved them falsely claiming to pay for luxury items, including cars, jewellery, and other high-value goods, by pretending to make bank transfers that were never processed.

They managed to fraudulently get over $1 million worth of goods and money. Their trial lasted for a few days, taking place from March 24 to March 28, 2025, in Broward County, Florida, and concluded with the jury deliberating for approximately three and a half hours before reaching their verdict, according to reports.

They convicted them of conspiracy and multiple counts of wire fraud. Kingston is reported to have been seen crying ‘ with his hands clasped ‘ as the jury read out its verdict. The charges involved defrauding a car dealership out of $160, 000 (£123, 000) for a Cadillac Escalade, stealing nearly $500, 000 (£386, 000) worth of jewellery, and obtaining other goods like a custom bed valued at $86, 000 (£66, 000) without paying for them.

After the verdict, Kingston became emotional, asking for officials to “protect my mother” as she was taken into custody. He was placed under house arrest with an electronic monitor and had to post a bond to be released ahead of the sentencing.

Both Kingston and Turner are set to be sentenced in July 2025, and each could face up to 20 years in prison on each charge. However, the final sentences could be influenced by factors like their cooperation and prior criminal history.

During the trial, jeweller Moshe Edery from Fort Lauderdale admitted he lost his reputation after a $368, 000 (£285, 000) transfer from Kingston didn’t go through. He told the court, “I’m being scammed”.

During the trial, Edery revealed that the Beat it singer and his mother had faked a wire transfer for a luxury watch and falsely promised to help grow his business by introducing him to other celebrities, according to a TMZ report.

I was like, wow, this is random, I have a lot to do with the end of this whole series. I do something of real significance – good or bad, I’m not going to say! But, I do something that makes a big difference to how everything ends”.

The Grade II-listed property is a “very solid foundation for something for the children,” according to the Channel 4 star. Prior to the Owens’ purchase, Anty Johns, which has an attached barn, was unoccupied for 60 years. It was built in the early 18th century. Because Ravenseat is a tenant-owned property, the family wanted a permanent home when they purchased the property.

In an interview with BBC Radio York, Amanda revealed that she had no idea who would occupy the home., situated in the Swaledale parish of Muker, a short distance from the Ravenseat farm.

She said, “I have a lot of people who are vying to move in.” Amanda once referred to how slowly the renovations are moving because there isn’t much she can do to assist.

When we return, the question becomes, “What has been done? ” She said in October 2024, “A few more slateroof tiles.” “I’m getting messages from plumbers, heating engineers, and, of course, Phillip the joiner,” I’ve heard. They are interested in knowing when to begin. I must move in with it.

Episodes of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids are now re-airing on Channel 4, with each episode showcasing the family dealing with renovations and reflecting on their relationships.

Three boys and six girls. Generally speaking, everything appears to be ready for a photo shoot. Additionally, we have some pleasant weather. The entire gang is wonderful to have them back.

Given that some of her eldest members are about to fly the nest, this photo means a lot to the Yorkshire Shepherdess. We’ll see the kids developing and going their own way, and the house will also evolve, Amanda declared in a statement.
