Rapper Sean Kingston and his mother found guilty on all charges

MIAMI (CBS, KYMA/KECY) - A federal jury found singer and rapper Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, guilty on all charges Friday evening in their luxury fraud scheme trial.

Turner was immediately taken into custody after the verdict, with the judge citing her past criminal history and role in the scheme as key factors in his decision.

He described her as the "operator, fixer, and accountant" behind the fraudulent activity. As she was led away, she blew a kiss to her daughter, who mouthed back, "I love you."

Kingston, 35, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, was placed on immediate house arrest until sentencing.

The judge rejected his request to travel for a scheduled performance in Texas, saying, "He's not going to Texas."
