Queens Man Accused Of Armed Sexual Assaults In Brooklyn

QUEENS, NY – A Queens man is accused of sexually assaulting two women at gunpoint and attempting to sexually assault another in three separate attacks in Brooklyn.

Keith Wiggins, 26, of South Ozone Park, was indicted on 22 charges Friday for sexually assaulting the three women throughout East New York within hours of each other in October, said Acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.

The sexual assault spree began in the early hours of Oct. 10 at 6:45 a.m. near 609 Fountain Avenue, the DA said. Wiggins allegedly approached a 29-year-old woman, led her at gunpoint to the back of a building and raped her before fleeing.

At around 7:13 a.m. the same day, he approached a 15-year-old girl near 675 Lincoln Ave., revealed his gun and threatened to shoot her if she did not turn around, but the girl fled, Gonzalez said.

In the last attack at around 8:30 a.m., Wiggins allegedly approached a 30-year-old woman and ordered her at gunpoint into the hallway of her residence. He forced her to perform a sex act with the gun pointed at her head before fleeing, Gonzalez said.

Police tracked down Wiggins later that morning as he attempted to return a car to a rental agency at the John F. Kennedy Airpor, Gonzalez said.

Wiggins was arraigned Friday on charges including predatory sexual assault, rape, criminal sexual act, burglary as a sexually-motivated felony, sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child. A judge ordered him to be held in jail without parole until his return to court Jan. 10.
