Sean Kingston and mother plead not guilty to wire fraud charges in $1 million scheme

Sean Kingston and his mother Janice Turner have pleaded not guilty before the court after being sued for fraud of over $1 million.

Last month, the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida announced that a Miami grand jury charged Kingston and Turner with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and multiple counts of wire fraud.

They are accused of using fake documents to trick sellers into giving them expensive vehicles, jewellery, and other items.

At a court hearing in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, on Monday, August 26, Broward Circuit Judge Ernest Kollra approved the pleas made by Kingston (whose real name is Kisean Anderson) and Turner.

Their lawyers also requested that the case be tried by a jury and asked for all evidence that the State plans to use in the trial, as reported by People.

Their earlier bond of $90,000 has not been waivered, as reported by AP.
