MAN ACCUSED
OF CONNING LIL' KIM SENTENCED TO FIVE DAYS IN JAIL!
John Acheson, 31 the man accused of conning hip-hop beauty Lil' Kim after her
jewelry was stolen has been jailed. He told the rapper's lawyer that he knew
where her missing jewelry was when, in fact, he didn't.He pleaded guilty to a
lesser charge of attempted grand larceny and was subsequently sentenced to five
days behind bars and a $500 fine, rather than up to four years in jail, for his
role in trying to con the New York native.Kim's lawyer Mel Sachs got a call from
Acheson last summer, three days after a thief made off with $250,000 worth of
her jewelry at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport on June 20.Acheson allegedly
offered to sell back the stash for $5,000 upfront and another $20,000 later,
police said. The jewels were later found near an airport employee's locker.No
money was paid by Kim or her people, though Acheson, who was already on parole
for swindling his former landlord for $47,000 in fake stock, was slapped with a
felony grand larceny charge. Acheson still claims that he had to pay
$20,000 in order to get the jewelry back from a friend.
