Alvin Robertson, who was born and raised in Barberton, Ohio, just outside of Akron, is accused of forcing an underaged child to have sex with him in Texas.
Investigators say Barberton, 47, is part of a ring that kidnapped the girl and forced her into prostitution and dancing at a strip club.
Robertson resides in San Antonio — where he spent the bulk of his All-Star career with the NBA’s Spurs — but was arrested in Arkansas. His arrest is part of an investigation that started last April.
That’s when the teenaged girl waved down a police cruiser and told officers she had been abducted from San Antonio. The girl’s parents had reported her as a runaway.
The girl eventually escaped from a 49-year-old Corpus Christi man who was her captor, as he took a shower. He has pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child.
Robertson’s girlfriend, Racquel Mcintosh — along with five other men police say are involved — have been arrested in San Antonio.
Hopefully, Robertson is not guilty of this sick, perverted crime. If he guilty, he will be far from alone.
Here are seven other athletes convicted of sexual crimes.
