Alex Da Silva - SYTYCD Choreographer Arrested for Rape
Alex Da Silva, a former choreographer for "So You Think You Can Dance" was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting four women.
Alex Da Silva was arrested at his North Hollywood home earlier this morning after the District Attorney filed an arrest warrant charging him with eight felony counts of assault.
The 41-year-old dance instructor was charged with four counts of forcible rape, two counts of assault with intent to commit rape and two counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object.
The D.A. says the alleged assaults occurred between August 2002 and March 2009. The four alleged victims were between the ages of 20 and 26 and were all dancers or aspiring dancers who say they met Alex through his dance instruction classes.
Da Silva worked as a choreographer on So You Think You Can Dance between 2005 and 2008.

It's about time an intelligent District Attorney was put on this case. Former lacking DAs is the reason for the case being dragged on for so long. Alex has a sickness. He can't help himself and deserves everything that is to come - life in prison. Rapists don't show their dark side to the public. Their own families don't even know it! May justice be served.
