SEAN LOCKED UP

Beautiful Girls singer Kingston and his mom sentenced for fraud

- 

SEAN Kingston has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison.

The Beautiful Girls hitmaker, whose real name is Kisean Paul Anderson, and his mother, Janice Turner, were found guilty of five counts of wire fraud in March following a federal trial and faced up to 20 years in jail for each charge.

But on Friday, Sean apologised in front of Judge David Leibowitz and said he had learned a lesson, and though his attorney asked the 35-yearold star be allowed to leave and surrender at a later date for health reasons, the judge refused and he was immediately taken into custody.
