So You Think You Can Dance Choreographer Accused of Rape

Alex Da SilvaUPDATE: Prosecutors have not yet filed any charges. Da Silva will be released while the investigation continues.

This FOX scandal might just top anything ever connected to American Idol.

Over the weekend, choreographer Alex Da Silva was taken in by police on suspicion of sexual assault. The arrest stemmed from alleged incidents involving four different women.

Although the 41-year-old salsa dancer had been previously accused of sexual assault in 2003, 2004 and 2005, charges were never filed by the prosecutors office. After a new complaint on March 28, the LAPD went back and reinterviewed Alex’s previous accusers. Similar stories filed by all four women - all unknown to each other - led to Saturday’s arrest.

“The victims allege that he lured them to his homes in North Hollywood and Van Nuys,” a statement from the police department read. “He then used a ruse to get them into his bedroom, where he raped them.”

“We’re almost sure there are probably other victims out there and we hope they’ll come forward,” Det. John Eum said.

Da Silva is currently being held on $3.8 million bail. His first court appearance is scheduled for tomorrow. No statement has been released so far from anyone at FOX.
