DALLAS, Texas – A 44-year-old Dallas man, Corey Lamon Wiggins, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on February 26, 2026. A jury in the 291st Judicial District Court found Wiggins guilty of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child Victim Under 14 following a trial presided over by Judge Stephanie Huff.
The conviction brings a conclusion to a case involving the abuse of a young girl that dates back to approximately August 2010.
A Protracted Legal Path
The road to the verdict involved several years of investigation and legal delays:
- February 2020: Wiggins was initially indicted by a grand jury.
- 2022: The case experienced significant delays, and Wiggins was released on bond while further investigation was conducted.
- August 14, 2025: Following the conclusion of the additional investigation, a new warrant was issued. Dallas Police officers executed the warrant at a residence in the 3200 block of Arizona Avenue, taking Wiggins into custody without incident.
The Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and the Dallas Police Department worked collaboratively to secure the evidence necessary for the final prosecution.
Trial and Sentencing
The jury deliberated for roughly eight hours before returning a guilty verdict. During the punishment phase, the prosecution presented evidence of Wiggins’ prior felony conviction. This testimony had a swift impact; the jury deliberated for less than ten minutes before imposing the maximum sentence of life in prison.
Under Texas law, the charge of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child carries a mandatory sentence of life without parole in specific circumstances, ensuring the defendant will never be eligible for release…
