Friday, 26 Feb 2010 (NewsCore) - Local and federal authorities are searching for former San Antonio Spurs player Alvin Robertson, who is wanted in connection with a sex trafficking ring that allegedly forced a 14-year-old girl to have sex with men in San Antonio and Corpus Christi, Texas, the San Antonio Express-News reported Friday.
Authorities announced charges against seven people tied to the ring on Friday morning. Of the seven, Robertson is the only one who hasn't been arrested, said Deputy Ino Badillo, a spokesman for the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
Badillo said Robertson's girlfriend, Racquel McIntosh, 41, also has been arrested as part of the ring. McIntosh claims she doesn't know where the former NBA player is, Badillo said.Robertson, 47, is charged with three offenses: trafficking of persons under 18 for prostitution, sexual assault of a child and sexual performance of a child. McIntosh is charged with sexual performance of a child and trafficking of
persons under 18 for prostitution, the Express-News reported.
Badillo said investigators believe Leslie Roy Campbell kidnapped the girl and held her captive until she escaped in Corpus Christi.He said the Sheriff's Office Human Trafficking Task Force then began investigating Robertson and the other suspects after the girl came forward to complain she was taken throughout Bexar County to have sex with men in exchange for money. Friday's arrests come after a three-month investigation by the agency, the Express-News reported.
