Sean Kingston and his mom, Janice Turner, might be in hot water. In May, authorities raided Sean’s Florida home over an alleged fraud scheme. While Sean wasn’t there, his 61-year-old mother was, and she was arrested immediately. Sean himself was picked up later at a concert in California. Both were released after a few days, but now they’re facing federal charges.

Federal prosecutors say Sean Kingston and his mom are accused of defrauding businesses out of more than a million dollars. A Grand Jury in Miami indicted them on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and five counts of wire fraud.

The charges allege that Sean and Janice devised a plan to swindle businesses out of luxury goods like jewelry and cars. They supposedly claimed to send money transfers for these high-end items but never actually paid, keeping the goods anyway. Prosecutors say the mother-son duo got away with more than a million dollars’ worth of property. This includes scamming a car dealer out of a $160K Cadillac Escalade and jewelers out of $480K in jewelry, all without paying a dime.
