Teen Rapist Sentenced To 15 Years 3/3/06 Noon Joan Murray The man convicted of raping a 14 year old Coral Springs girl has been sentenced today to 15 years in jail, which was the maximum sentence allowed, with credit for one year time served. Jerry Wiggins was found guilty of Lewd Battery on Feb. 1, 2006, in the 2003 attack of the Coral Springs teenager. Wiggins is also accused of raping a 25 year old woman in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the kidnapping, rape and murder of Boca Raton nanny, Monica Marina Rivera Valdizan. She disappeared from a Boca Raton Publix on West Palmetto Park Road Jan. 2, 2004. Her body was found three days later in some bushes a short distance from the home where she was living and working. Wiggins was tied to both the Charlotte and Coral Springs rapes through DNA evidence in the murder case. He could get the death penalty if he's convicted in the nanny's murder. No date has been set for that trial.
