LA gang members charged in Shaq sex tape case

MEMBERS of a Los Angeles street gang are facing charges in the 2008 beating of a man who claimed he had a sex tape of Shaquille “Shaq” O’Neal and that the former NBA star was behind the attack.

Sheriff’s department records reviewed by the Los Angeles Times showed investigators probed allegations that O’Neal was connected to the attack, but O’Neal denied any involvement and has not been charged, the paper reported. Also, O’Neal is not named in the criminal complaint.

Robert Ross reported being beaten in 2008 but details of the case only came to light publicly this week in a preliminary hearing in which Ross testified against seven members of the Main Street Crips facing kidnapping, robbery and assault charges.
