A former choreographer for “So You Think You Can Dance” has again been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting four women. This time, however, he’s facing actual charges.
Alex Da Silva was arrested Thursday morning at his North Hollywood home, after the District Attorney filed an arrest warrant charging him with eight felony counts of assault.
The warrant includes 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 alleged assaults occurred between August 2002 and March 2009, according to the district attorney’s office. 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.
Back in April he was arrested on similar charges, but prosecutors held off on pressing charges in favor of a continued investigation, which apparently yielded results.
Da Silva is being held on $6.2 million bail.
