Former Toronto Raptor Alvin Robertson is off to prison.
The two-time NBA all-star, who has a lengthy record of altercations with women, was sentenced yesterday in San Antonio, Texas, to serve three years in prison for a probation violation despite a long-time girlfriend recanting her original report to police that Robertson raped her.
Although Robertson testified in court, "I absolutely did not rape anybody. I never committed a sexual assault. I'm screaming in the wilderness," the judge was unmoved.
In imposing the sentence, Judge Sid Harle said he found it "more likely than not" that Robertson raped the woman during a Nov. 17 visit to her San Antonio residence. The woman testified that she accused Robertson of rape to get even with him after he was disrespectful of her during a sexual encounter that was consensual.
