NBA player Ralph Sampson was indicted last month on one count each of perjury and making a false claim. Former NBA star was charged with failure to pay more than $300,000 in child support to two daughters by different women. Ralph Sampson was to repay the child support and be spared prison time and fines. Sampson'S attorney was working without salary for an online communications firm, but Sampson alleged than he had spent at least one month earning $5,000 as a consultant. This NBA star said he now works for a mortgage company in the Atlanta area.
