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.
