FORMER basketball star Alvin Robertson faces sexual assault of a child and sex trafficking charges alleging he was among seven people who kidnapped a girl, 14, who was forced into prostitution and made to dance at a strip club, authorities said on Friday.
Robertson, who was an All-Star player for the NBA San Antonio Spurs, was taken into custody on Friday in Arkansas, said Bexar County Sheriff's Deputy Ino Badillo.
The arrest comes as part of an investigation that began last April when a girl waved down a police cruiser in Corpus Christi and told authorities she had been abducted from San Antonio, Badillo said.
She told police she was driven around the city and forced to have sex with various men before being driven to Corpus Christi and forced to dance at a strip club.
The girl escaped her alleged captor, Leslie Campbell, 49, while he was showering, Badillo said. He pleaded guilty last month to sexual assault of a child.
Badillo said he didn't know the circumstances of the girl's abduction, but her parents had reported her as a runaway. He said the girl was able to identify several of her assailants and the locations she was taken in great detail.
Robertson's girlfriend, Raquel McIntosh, 41, of San Antonio was arrested early Friday on charges of sex trafficking of a minor and forcing a sexual performance by a child, Badillo said.
Robertson was sentenced to three years in jail in 2002 for a probation violation involving a rape accusation.
