On Saturday, a federal judge sentenced reggae/pop singer Kisean Paul Anderson to three and a half years in prison for swindling. Kisean Paul Anderson is better known as Sean Kingston. Thirty-five-year-old Kisean Paul Anderson, who once lived in homelessness, worked his way to a decent home under the sun, living on the lap of luxury. Rolling Stone Magazine..
Then, unexpectedly, greed took over.
Unexpectedly, the devil with a pitchfork, in the form of his mother (Janice Turner), hopped on his shoulder. Acting like a common thief, the Miami-born singer and his mother began swindling unsuspecting business owners. They swindled over one million dollars from their victims. The duo bought luxury cars, watches, and a jumbo television. Business owners had to sue to get their properties back.
Like all thieves, they think they are smarter than everyone else. They will never get caught. They can outrun the law. One day, the long arm of the law catches up with them. Today, Sean Kingston has to pay the piper.
The Habitual Offender.
On July 23rd, Sean Kingston’s mother, Janice Turner, was sentenced to five years in federal prison for fraud. Ms. Turner allegedly was the master mind behind the criminal enterprise operated by her and her son Sean Kingston.
Janice Turner went to trial, intending to prove that she did not steal anything. Court records show that in 2006, Ms. Turner pleaded guilty to bank fraud. The judge in that case sentenced her to 1.5 years in prison for stealing $160,000. Some people are just averse to working an honest job.

Ashamed of Nothing / Offended By Everything.
At her sentencing, Ms. Turner refused to take responsibility for her crime sprees. Instead, she blamed everyone else for what she did. “I’m sorry. I intended to keep my son afloat in this difficult industry, she told the court. They used him and abused him.
I am begging for mercy for me and my son.” The judge sentenced the 63-year-old to five years, followed by three years of probation. Ms. Turner proved herself as someone ashamed of nothing but offended by everything.
The Greedy Dog Effect.
Sean Kingston made enough money to live a comfortable life with his mother. However, they wanted more than they worked for.
As his body weight grew, so did his appetite. Eventually, they bit off more than they could chew, like the story of the ‘Greedy Dog’ and his bone. Sean Kingston dropped his bone in the pond to reach for the reflection of a larger bone. He failed to realize that a large bone was in the mouth of a larger dog, also.
A One-Hit Wonder.
In 2007, the singer released a single titled “Beautiful Girls.” Because of the gigantic one-hit record, the singer was able to go on tour and earn a significant income. As of 2025, ‘Beautiful Girls’ has more than a billion views on YouTube.
During his sentencing, Sean Kingson told the judge, “I’ve learned from my actions.” Ms. Zeljka Bozanic, Kingston’s lawyer, blamed his crime spree on an accident, a 2011 jet ski accident that left him severely injured. “I know he’s very sorry for what he’s done,” his attorney said.
“Think globally, act locally.”
It is crucial to be forward-thinking but not a forward person. “Be kind to everyone you meet because each carries his heavy burden…” Plato.
