\n\tKingston, 35, was placed under house arrest with electronic monitoring. He is required to post a $500,000 bond for his home and $200,000 in cash, NBC News<\/a> reports. Turner, 62, was taken into custody and will remain there until her sentencing.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe mother and son are scheduled to be sentenced on July 11. Each count carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. The pair was reportedly seen wiping away tears as the verdict was read on Friday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cProtect my mother,\u201d Kingston told U.S. Marshals as Turner was taken into custody, according to WPLG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tKingston, who did not testify during the trial, and Turner were convicted of defrauding a jewelry business, a luxury bed company, a high-end car dealership, and a TV installation company. Prosecutors said the total value of the items they obtained exceeded $1 million. The scheme spanned several years before being uncovered in March 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\tKingston and Turner were arrested in May 2024<\/a> and made their first court appearance that July.<\/p>\n

\n\tKingston first stormed onto the music scene as a teenager when his \u201cBeautiful Girls\u201d single topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2007. His most recent album, Road to Deliverance<\/em>, was released in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
