Child Sexual Assaulter, Wanted For Drug Dealing, At Large In NH

CONCORD, NH — The U.S. Marshals-New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force is asking for the public’s help finding a convicted sexual assaulter and registered sex offender, out on bail on a drug-dealing charge.

Craig Robert Wiggin is 43, about five feet, eight inches tall, and weighs around 140 pounds. He has blue eyes and red hair. Wiggin has a number of tattoos on his neck, chest, arms, and legs, as well as a noticeable scar on his right calf, according to Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal.

“Wiggin is being sought on an arrest warrant for bail violations for an ongoing case alleging the possession with intent to distribute narcotics (fentanyl),” White said. “Wiggin has absconded from supervision but is believed to still be in the Rochester, Somersworth, or Farmington, NH, areas.”

A warrant for his arrest was issued out of Strafford County on Oct. 21.

Wiggin, too, is not in compliance with the sex offender registry, White added, noting there was a warrant pending on that charge.

“Wiggin is deemed a sex offender due to a 1999 conviction for felonious sexual assault on a child between 13-16 years of age with an age difference of more than 3 years,” he said.

Anyone who knows where Wiggin is or has seen someone who looks like him should contact the task force at 603-225-1632 or local police.

According to superior court records, Wiggins has a lengthy criminal history.
