Guilty Plea
In 1992, Wigginton pleaded guilty to one count of non-aggravated child molestation of a 10-year-old boy. He received a one-year jail sentence, and 19 years of probation. http://www.nytimes.com/1992/11/13/us/foxfire-book-teacher-admits-child-molestation.html He admitted the molestation rather than face 20 accusers of his misdeeds. Required to leave the Foxfire project, he moved to Florida. Wiggington is required to be registered in Florida as a sex offender. http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/flyer.do?personId=8998
