So You Think You Can Rape

Former "So You Think You Can Dance" choreographer Alex Da Silva (41) was arrested on a felony warrant charging him with sexually assaulting four female victims. Wow, that's a dance partner who leads!

According to a statement from the DA's office, the dance instructor who was known for his salsa moves, was arrested at home yesterday morning by LAPD officers. I guess the Lambada is the forbidden dance! Da Silva is charged with eight felony counts, including four counts of forcible rape, two counts of assault with intent to commit rape and two counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object. Look, he may be Latino, but must we call it a "foreign object"?

The four alleged victims range in ages from 20 to 26 years old and were dancers who met Da Silva through the classes he taught. The alleged assaults took place between August 2002 and March 2009. Da Silva is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow and could face life in prison if convicted. Not to worry, his dance card will get punched plenty if he ends up in prison.

He is currently being held on a $6.2 million bail, not because he's a flight risk, but I believe because the guys at county want to have him teach them some special moves so they can will the all-state prison guard dance competition.
