Sean Kingston breaks down in tears in court as he & mom found guilty in $1m wire fraud case facing decades in prison

SEAN Kingston has sobbed in court as he and his mom were found guilty in a $1million fraud case that could land them behind bars for decades.

According to local outlets, the rapper begged officials as US Marshals took Turner into custody, crying: “Protect my mother.”;

The duo were found guilty of swindling more than $1million from car dealerships, banks, jewelers, and even a mattress company using fake documents to score luxury goods, including a bulletproof Escalade and a colossal TV.

Turner, 62, was dubbed the “fixer and nerve center” of the scheme by the judge.

She was ordered to be held in Broward County Jail after being deemed a flight risk.

The court heard Turner had previous form, serving 18 months behind bars after stealing more than $160,000 in a 2006 bank fraud case.

Meanwhile, Kingston, 35, was placed under house arrest with strict bond conditions, including a $200,000 surety in cash and putting up a relative’s $500,000 home.
