Sean Kingston Faces Fraud Charges with Mother

Sean Kingston waived his right to fight extradition in a California court on Tuesday and agreed to be turned over to authorities in Broward County, Florida, where he is facing 10 charges related to fraud. According to the Associated Press, the rapper, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, did not make a public court appearance, instead signing papers agreeing to skip any extradition hearings.

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office told APthey will coordinate with the sheriffs in San Bernardino County, where Kingston was arrested last week at Fort Irwin, to return Kingston to Florida. Kingston was arrested on the same day as his mother, Janice Turner, and has been held in a county jail since.

According to an arrest warrant obtained by Rolling Stone earlier this week, the “Beautiful Girls” singer and his mother are accused of defrauding several businesses, including a jeweler and a car dealer. They face counts of grand theft over a Cadillac Escalade, $480,000 in jewelry, and a custom bed valued at $86,568.33.
