The Anthony Pellicano case just keeps giving.

The latest: Joann Wiggan, 56, a  former SBC phone company worker,  was sentenced Monday  in Los Angeles to 3 years and 5 months in prison and fined $7,500 for helping  Pellicano, the rogue detective to the stars,  wiretap big name  actors like Sylvester Stallone, according to the Associated Press. She was convicted  of two counts of perjury and one count of making a false statement.

Authorities charged Wiggan was a facilities tech at the phone company and had access to the computer mainframes.

Pellicano was sentenced to 15 years in prison and FBI agent Mark Rossini lost his job and was sentenced to one year probation in Washington for leaking a secret FBI document to his girlfriend, actress Linda Fiorentino. She in turn, provided the document to Pellicano’s defense attorney for trial.
