Sean Kingston was sent to federal custody because his legal team was unable to provide the $100,000 cash required for his bond agreement. The 34-year-old singer, whose real name is Kisean Paul Anderson, appeared in court on April 10 before U.S. District Judge David S. Leibowitz. Despite efforts by family members to secure the funds, the cash portion of the bond remained unpaid, leading to Kingston's incarceration. Sean Kingston had been under house arrest with electronic monitoring following his conviction for federal wire fraud but failed to meet the financial terms of his bond agreement. The missing cash led to Judge Leibowitz ordering him into the custody of the United States Marshals Service. Sean Kingston's sentencing is set for July 11, 2025, and his mother, Janice Turner, is also in custody due to involvement in the same fraud case. Allegations suggest that they were part of a scheme that fraudulently obtained over $1 million in luxury items through fake wire transfers. Each wire fraud count carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Kingston will remain in federal custody until his sentencing in the summer.
