Sean Kingston and his mother have filed a motion to dismiss federal wire fraud charges related to an alleged jewelry theft case. The motion was submitted to Florida State Court in Fort Lauderdale on December 31.

The pair, arrested in May and arraigned in August, face accusations of defrauding victims through fraudulent purchases of high-end cars, jewelry, and other goods. Their defense team argues that the federal prosecutor is improperly collaborating with state prosecutors to establish federal jurisdiction.

Key points from the motion:

• Defense questions why a national security prosecutor is handling a wire fraud case
• No federal agents were present during the search
• Defendants surrendered voluntarily to U.S. Marshalls on July 19, 2024
• Claims of selective and vindictive prosecution

The defense team requests either:

1. Complete dismissal of the case
2. Permission for discovery and an evidentiary hearing at the federal level

Attorney Robert Rosenblatt maintains his client's innocence and is prepared to try the case in either state or federal court as necessary.
