Florida, USA
Sean Kingston was sentenced to three and a half years in prison over the weekend after being convicted of a $1 million fraud scheme.
The singer was taken into custody to begin his sentence after the sentencing was announced. Before his sentencing by U.S. Judge David Leibowitz, Kingston apologized to the judge in the South Florida courtroom.
“I apologize, I apologize, I’ve learned from my actions,” Kingston said. “All I’m asking for is to accept my apology to the court.”
His attorney asked if he could self-surrender at a later date due to health issues, but the judge ordered that the singer be taken into custody immediately.
Kingston, 35, will also serve three years of probation following his release.
