New Charges in Pellicano Wiretapping Case

An AP newswire article, via The Boston Globe, reports that:

A former phone company employee acquitted in September of perjury has been indicted by a federal grand jury on similar charges stemming from the wiretapping case against Hollywood private investigator Anthony Pellicano.

The grand jury returned the three-count indictment against Joann Wiggan, 52, on Nov. 22 but it wasn't released until Tuesday by the U.S. attorney's office. If convicted of the three perjury counts, Wiggan faces a maximum of 15 years in prison.

An arraignment has yet to be scheduled.
