Shaq In Middle of Kidnapping, Robbery, Sex Tape Case

Shaquille O'Neal is embroiled in a criminal case in which 7 gang members allegedly kidnapped, beat up and robbed a man who claimed to have a tape showing Shaq having sex with other women while he was married to Shaunie.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Ladell Rowles -- a member of the Main Street Mafia Crip Gang in L.A. who is friends with Shaq -- along with 6 other members went on a search and destroy mission in L.A. on February 11, 2008. They believed a man named Robert Ross had the sex tape and they tried getting it back with the help of a gun or two.

According to the police report, the 7 gang members met up with Ross at a convenience store -- Pink Dot -- on the Sunset Strip. The men allegedly surrounded Ross' Rolls Royce Phantom with guns drawn, jumped into Ross' car and ordered him to drive to Rowles' house in South Central L.A.

Once there, Rowles allegedly pistol whipped Ross and demanded that he turn over the sex tape. Ross said he would get the tape and bring it back to them. The 7 men then allegedly took Ross' Rolex, diamond chain and earrings, along with $15,000 in cash -- then let Ross go.

The 7 men have been arrested and charged with robbery, kidnapping and other crimes. They are currently in the middle of a preliminary hearing and being held in jail.

Take it with more than a grain of salt, of course, but wow.

Shaq has an in with a number of police forces, he'll be fine. The law is, as it should be, only for those who don't have the proper connections.

Could this be connected to his HAQ ATTAQ?!

Qidnap Attaq.

This sounds like a made-up twist to make the biggest abortion on television - Basketball Wives - watchable to people who aren't female, in their 40s and absolute bitches all the time.

I hope this is a made up shit or Shaq definitely is a fucked up thug minded ass criminal who should be locked up in the jail.

Lol Shaq is a sheriff or whatever in both Miami and LA I doubt he would even be involved with this.
