Ex-Spurs player Robertson exonerated of all charges
A six-year legal ordeal for ex-Spur Alvin Robertson ended Monday when a judge dismissed charges against him related to an underage sex ring.
State District Judge Jefferson Moore ruled Robertson, who played with the Spurs from 1984-1989, was innocent of charges of sexual assault of a child, trafficking an underage child for purposes of sex and forcing a sexual performance by a child.
The case against the former NBA star fell apart when it became apparent the state’s only witness had lied.
“There was no ring,” said Brent De La Paz, Robertson’s attorney. “There were no girls. There was one girl who made up the whole story.”
....
But during depositions in those civil cases, attorneys uncovered numerous instances where the girl fabricated stories. A regular theme of the stories, De La Paz said, was that she was abducted by a tall black man.
....
Calls to the special prosecutor were not returned.

This is an outrage.
