Former NBA All-Star Accused of Child Sexual Assault

Alvin Robertson

Hot shot ex-baller Alvin Robertson is facing charges of child sexual assault, trafficking of persons under 18 for prostitution and the forcing of a sexual performance by a child -- all felonies. The former San Antonio Spur was arrested in Arkansas and taken in to custody on Friday.

According to police files, Robertson was part of a ring, one of seven people, which also included an R&B performer, who allegedly kidnapped a 14-year-old teen girl and forced her in to prostitution and stripping. Robertson was the last ring member to be arrested.

The investigation of the perverse sexual ring began last April, when the young girl saw a police cruiser in Corpus Christi, Texas, and waved it down. The child told authorities she had been kidnapped from her city, San Antonio, forced to perform sexual favors with countless men, given a false ID and made to strip at various clubs. The girl's parents had actually reported her missing.

Lead Investigator Deputy Ino Badillo states that the girl managed to get away from one of her alleged kidnappers, Leslie Campbell, 49, who last month pled guilty to child sexual assault charges. Deputy Badillo also contended that Robertson is believed to have had sex with the girl but also described him as a "facilitator," which means he was involved in forcing the girl in to prostitution.

Police records further reveal that the teen victim was not only able to identify all of her abductors but could direct officers to all of the locations where she had been taken.

To make matters worse, Robertson's girlfriend was also hauled away Friday by police. Forty-one-year-old Raquel McIntosh was charged as well.

Robertson, who still holds the top career steals-per-game average in the NBA, is certainly no newbie to arrest. He seems to have been involved in a litany of crimes throughout the years ranging from domestic violence to burglary to rape accusation to criminal mischief. The list goes on.

The former NBA all star retired in 1996 after spending 10 seasons in the league.
