SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Former NBA All-Star Alvin Robertson is a wanted man.

The former San Antonio Spurs star, who spent 10 seasons in the NBA, 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.

Authorities allege that the 47-year-old 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 in a Corpus Christi strip club last year.

The girl escaped one of her alleged captors and waved down a police cruiser, prompting the investigation.

In all, seven people have been charged, including Robertson's girlfriend. All have been arrested except for Robertson, who authorities are still looking for.
