A judge denied Sean Kingston's request to perform at Summerfest due to his home detention following a fraud conviction involving over $1 million. Despite claims of financial distress, the judge, David Leibowitz, did not provide a reasoning for the decision. Sean Kingston, known for his hit "Beautiful Girls," is currently on home detention in South Florida awaiting sentencing after being convicted of luxury goods fraud charges. Kingston and his mother were found guilty of using fake documents to scam over $1 million worth of high-end items. Kingston's legal team argued that the Summerfest performance would be a legitimate income opportunity as he has been unable to work due to travel restrictions. However, the judge rejected the motion, keeping Kingston confined to Florida. Kingston faces a sentencing date of August 15, 2025, with a potential maximum prison term of 20 years for each charge.
