Sean Kingston Files For Extradition After Completing Several Charges

Sean Kingston faces ten accusations upon his extradition, adding complexity to the case of theft and fraud.

The hitmaker of “Beautiful Girls” and his mother caused a stir last week when they were taken into custody after a search of their rented Florida property. Since then, Kingston’s mother has been let out of jail, but her son is still being held without being able to post bond.

Authorities claim that Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, conned victims out of products valued at a million dollars. The musician is being charged with ten counts in connection with the raid on his residence, according to the Broward County arrest warrant.

Among these offenses is a purported organized scheme to defraud multiple businesses of approximately six figures. According to reports, Kingston and Turner defrauded a dealer of exotic cars, a jeweler, and other companies.

According to the paperwork, the mother and son owing the jewelry an astounding $480,000 after they bought a Cadillac Escalade from the auto dealer for $159,701.49 without making any payments. Kingston is also accused of grand theft for a handcrafted bed that cost $86,568.33.

His other allegations include one count of violating probation, writing bogus checks, and bank fraud. According to TMZ, prior to his arrest last Thursday, Kingston was subject to probation for trafficking in stolen property.

The Blast has revealed that Kingston’s mother was liberated on Sunday at approximately 5:54 PM. Her release was confirmed by sources from the Broward County jail, who disclosed that she had been charged with eight counts.

Turner has committed grand theft, identity theft, and running an organized fraud operation. She had to post a $160,000 bond to be released following her court hearing last Friday, so her freedom wasn’t cheap.

Kingston, meanwhile, stayed detained without being granted bond at the San Bernardino County jail. Tuesday was his extradition hearing, and he would probably win his freedom in the same manner that his mother did.

The 34-year-old would be returned to Florida after his release to deal with the consequences of the raid on his rented property as well as his ten charges.

The raid on the South Florida mansion that Kingston and Turner were renting was the first step towards their eventual arrest.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office verified that arrest and search warrants were executed at a Southwest Ranches home after conducting a continuing investigation.

Turner was the only person home when the police invaded the place and took him into custody. Police had issued an arrest warrant for her son at the time since he was out of the country performing in California.

Kingston shot himself in the foot just hours before he was arrested, stating everything was under control. “People adore bad vibes! Both my mother and I are doing well! As we speak, my lawyers are taking care of everything,” he wrote on Instagram.

But he was arrested by Fort Irwin, California, police on several counts of theft and fraud, and they lodged him in their San Bernardino jail.

Ver Ver Entertainment’s attorney acknowledged that their company was involved in the arrests, hence the raid on Kingston’s residence was long overdue. In a statement, Dennis Card mentioned that his client had been anticipating the raid for “more than two months.”

“A lawsuit was brought by me against Sean Kingston. After reading my lawsuit and getting in touch with me, a Broward County detective went down and provided my client with an affidavit and recorded statement.”

In February, Ver Ver Entertainment sued Kingston, claiming that he had neglected to pay for merchandise that he had bought from the business.

It was alleged that he gave “numerous false representations” regarding his relationship with a well-known pop artist, in violation of the conditions of their contract.

Ver Ver Entertainment sued Kingston, alleging that the singer had lied to them about having a “current and ongoing working relationship” with Justin Bieber.

In exchange for the company lowering his payments and giving him credit toward the things he bought from them, he allegedly agreed to make promotional videos featuring the “Baby” singer.

However, by not having a professional relationship with Bieber, Kingston violated the conditions of the agreement. Ver Ver Entertainment emphasized that they made several attempts but were unable to get the artist to pay them what was owed to them.

They are not the first to pursue Kingston for unpaid bills; in 2018, The Blast revealed that the 34-year-old’s music royalties were under threat.

Haimov Jewelers, seeking to pursue a $314,138.22 judgment for unpaid jewels, ordered that Sony Music produce all records pertaining to Kingston.
