Former Toronto Raptor Alvin Robertson has been charged with sexual assault of a
child, trafficking an underage child for purposes of sex and forcing a sexual
performance by a child.
The charges were contained in an
arrest warrant Friday. Robertson has not been apprehended.
Authorities claim Robertson, 47, who
scored the first points in Raptors history when the franchise began play in
1995, star was part of a ring that kidnapped a 14-year-old girl from San
Antonio, forced her to have sex with clients and to dance at a Corpus Christi
strip club last year.
The girl escaped her alleged captors,
prompting an investigation. Seven people have been charged, including
Robertson's girlfriend, and he's the only one who has not been arrested.
The San Antonio Spurs selected
Robertson seventh overall in the 1984 draft. He averaged 14 points over 10
seasons and was voted to four all-star games. He finished his career with
Toronto during the 1995-'96 season.
