Singer Sean Kingston was sentenced Friday to three and a half years in prison for a 1 million fraud scheme in which he used his fame to obtain luxury items without paying.
Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Paul Anderson, and his mother, Janice Eleanor Turner, were convicted in March of conspiracy and wire fraud. Turner was sentenced last month to five years.
Before U.S. Judge David Leibowitz delivered the sentence, Kingston apologized in court, saying he had learned from his actions. His attorney requested a delayed surrender due to health issues, but the judge ordered him taken into custody immediately.
