The mother of teenage rap sensation The Kid Laroi has been linked to a credit card crime spree across inner-city Sydney totalling almost $10,000.

Sloane Howard, whose son's real name is Charlton Howard, has been accused of fraudulently using a credit card to pay for cosmetic services at a laser clinic four years ago. 

Details of the same credit card holder were also used by a man who once lived near the Howards to pay for $9,299.43 in accommodation, clothing from online store The Iconic and plumbing tools.

The Kid Laroi famously spent part of his childhood living in public housing, from where his mother began guiding his music career to international acclaim.

Mother and son returned triumphantly to Australia in late May for the local leg of a world tour which was interrupted by Howard having to hand herself into police over an old fraud charge. 

Police allege Howard used the credit card details of a John Keith to pay for cosmetic services worth $849 from Laser Clinics Australia at Marrickville Metro Shopping Centre on August 8, 2018. 

About that time Sloane was living with her then 14-year-old son in the inner-city Drysdale public housing block in Pitt Street, Waterloo. 

The 51-year-old, who has pleaded not guilty to one count of dishonestly obtaining a financial advantage by deception, was listed before Downing Centre Local Court on Monday. 

On that day the court heard an offender charged with the 'same factual matrix' had been sentenced in the Downing Centre in May. 

That offender is 62-year-old Christopher Brett Kearney, who at the time of his September 2019 arrest lived in the Joseph Banks public housing building in George Street, Waterloo.

Sloane was charged by the same officer from the same team in September 2020. 

Kearney was accused of using the credit card details of John Keith to purchase clothing worth $685.79 from The Iconic online store between July 26 and August 10, 2018.

He was also accused of using those details to purchase purchase of a $1,298 Apple iPhone 8 from Officeworks and floral arrangements valued at $393 between the same dates.

During the same time frame Kearney used the card details to buy plumbing tools priced at $7,986.14 from Tradelink at Alexandria.
