No Sex Charges for Alex Da Silva
UPDATE: E! Online reports that the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office won’t be filing charges against So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Alex Da Silva—who was arrested this weekend for allegedly sexually assaulting four of his dance students—because they currently lack the evidence to do so.
A district attorney spokesperson says that the Los Angeles police need to investigate further before charges can be filed. The spokesperson adds that a number of new alleged victims have come forward since the arrest, but have not yet been interviewed.
Alex Da Silva, choreographer for the Fox dance-competition series So You Think You Can Dance, was arrested on Saturday after being accused of raping four of his dance students, the Associated Press reports.
Da Silva, 41, who teaches at several Los Angeles dance studios, was taken into custody at a Hollywood studio and booked for investigation of sexual assault, according to Detective John Eum.
The Brazilian-born dancer and choreographer was accused of raping three of his students in 2003, 2004 and 2005, but prosecutors declined to file charges, says Eum. However, after a fourth woman stepped forward on March 28 with a similar story to the other dancers, police reopened the cases.
Da Silva’s latest accuser says that he lured her to his home, persuaded her to enter his bedroom, and sexually assaulted her.
“These four women don’t know each other at all, yet their reports read basically the same,” says Eum, who adds that one of the accusers was a minor at the time of the alleged assault.
“We’re almost sure there are probably other victims out there and we hope they’ll come forward,” Eum notes.
Da Silva is expected to make his first court appearance on Sunday.






















[quote=harvey]It’s about time the truth be known about Alex Da Silva. He has had a reputation of being a rapist for years in the Salsa scene. No surprise. Only now the public is finding out. May justice finally be served and may any unknown victims please come forward. Put that Diablo into the snake pit where he belongs.[/quote]
you don’t know anything harvey
This is not true. There’s a big difference between seduction and rape. There’s a lot of jealousy in the salsa scene. Alex worked hard for everything he has and instead of trying to tear him down be more productive and do the same. And ladies, please take responsibility for your actions. I’ve known him for years and he’s always been a gentleman with me and everyone I know.
Harvey, you better stop going to every friggin website to post negative crap about Alex. I’ve seen your postings you poor hater. I still the same, you are jealous, could not get any play then and can’t get any play no. In conclusion, if Alex did it, then he deserves what’s coming to him, but if it was fram up, shame on the person that filed false allegations. A man is innocent until proven guilty.
ALEX IS INNOCENT!
I have know Alex for more than 5 years. He is sometime playful but I feel he is a good man and very giving most of the times I know that everywhere he goes, there are many girls who would do many things just to be near him.
I am an dance instructor myself. My personal opinion and estimate is that there are 0.5% of girls out there that are just plain dangerous, spike-full, revengeful or confuse. I have seen and witness many late supper after dancing where these girls will sit down together and spin lies and make up stories over a drink just for fun and to seek attention.
I know of some girls that Alex is close to. I will not go for supper with a group if some of these girls where in the group. I have witness many a times that a group will gather for supper and when someone leaves. These girls will start spinning gossip about how touchy the guy is and very quickly the gossip will lead into senseless untruth stories that will become lies and they will make jokes and spin more lies just because its entertaining and they want to become popular. Some of these lie will leak to the public as the being the truth and its dangerous. In my mind I am thinking someday, many innocents may be jail because of this.
I have heard of police case where molest was claim because somebody don’t like someone and when an incident happen it will be spin into an accusation.
I have students who have complained about guys. I have thrown guys out of our school . but most of the times in my opinion some of these dangerous girls are spinning a lie without realizing the severity. Not that these girls want to be a lier but they just want to make conversation, be notice, seek attention, sometime confuse, sometime talking without thinking, sometime just plainly quoting a line from the TV, many a time they just want to be popular, other time just plain evil, revengeful or manipulative and there will be times where a confuse person will be manipulate into spinning a lie for many different reason or under the influence of other people.
In my opinion in many other countries, there will be also women who will gladly pay to sleep with someone a lot less famous than Alex and will blackmail their dance instructor if they leaves them or does not listen to them.
In my opinion up to 70% of all famous male dance instructors worldwide who have more than 1,000 students will have some unjustifiable accusation make against them by student who wants to have power over their dance instructor or have a crush on them, these girls are manipulative and very dangerous, they tend to make their own rules and expect others to follow. They are willing to gamble with their life at times just to achieve this.
For Alex there are millions of girls who knows him, his chance of being accuse is hundred of times higher that the average instructor. Girls are know to come thousands of miles from the other side of the world just to get to know him.
In my frank opinion, I feel that Alex will not touch a lady who does not want to bed him. Those whom I know who are also dangerous, have already have their intention written over their body language that they do not mind bedding Alex when they see him around . These girls tend to say that they are not interested but if given a chance and Alex were to just lead them a little and no one step in to stop them, its almost certain it always happen. I have seen these girls queuing up for him.
My guess is that this 4 women plus maybe more who will come up and accuse him is because Alex do not always pick the mature women, he some time pick girls who are dangerous, revengeful etc. and when one of the following happen, he is accuse of rape.
1) They (the girls) feel that they have been cheated when they found out that he have sleep with other girls too.
2) They did not explicitly say that they want to have sex with him but did not walk out either. After sex they feel that he did not treat them well enough to their expectation.
3) They are afraid that their friend, husband, boyfriend will see them in a negative light thus they cried wolf just to protect themselves.
4) They feel that he may tell thus they better strike him first.
5) They discuss the encounter with their friend who give bad advise and ask them to report these as rape. Because in their opinion it can be or they don’t really care and is just talking sh*t.
There are just too many more possibility, I am just listing some but I do not think any one of them will be amount to real rape and assault.
I believe Alex has made many girls very happy and some the happiest time of their life too. These 4 girls are not satisfied with what was given to them or they are not allow to have power or control over him thus they want to take revenge or they are confuse. They feel one way or the other, they have been cheated.
I will be shock if he really have beat up the girls, tie them up, lock them up, intimidate, kidnapped or black mail any of them. If that have happen its a whole different case.
I pray that he is innocence and hope that he is just guilty of being one of the world biggest casanova.
If he is sentence guilty just because he is a casanova than maybe thousand and thousand more such cases will surface around the world soon and the next thing we know dancing will be made illegal again in some countries. Maybe even one day there will be so much law that no one is allow to do anything any more.
Please investigate responsibly, with maturity, understanding and understanding of the dance sense.
May God bless us all.

I agree with everything this teacher is saying. I have taken many; many classes from Alex and although he is playful he knows what his limits are. I do not believe this accusations and I believe Alex has over-exposed himself when it comes to women because of his accomplishments yet I don’t think that the fact that he did not reciprocate on anybodys expectations should be a reason to crucify him.

Maybe even one day there will be so much law that no one is allow to do anything any more.Please investigate responsibly, with maturity, understanding and understanding of the dance sense. May God bless us all.[/quote]
I agree with everything this teacher is saying. I have taken many; many classes from Alex and although he is playful he knows what his limits are. I do not believe this accusations and I believe Alex has over-exposed himself when it comes to women because of his accomplishments yet I don’t think that the fact that he did not reciprocate on anybodys expectations should be a reason to crucify him.
I am really shocked to hear this news about Alex. I have gotten the chance to meet Alex in some of the Salsa scene around the L.A. area and I even wanted him to train me to be a better dancer. Although I really don’t know him very well he seemed like a real cool guy. He has won numerous times at the Salsa competition at the Mayan and other locations. He is a great dancer and the ladies love him. They are some devious women out there that are full of hate and are totally bitter about men period. I am not taking sides, if Alex really did do this act then shame on him but if the girls are liars then shame on them. Salsa can be very sexy, sensual, provacative and this is why I much rather dance with my partner and don’t share her. Because some men in the Salsa scene just want to get a quick feel and I am not comfortable with my women being touch by any other men but me. If she is single do what ever you want dance with the owner of the club for all I care. I am not that liberal and I am sure not sharing what’s mine. My partner and I dance really well together we took classes and now we dance good. Maybe some of you couples should find a partner and stop swapping your significant other to a random person at the dance floor. You can avoid things like this from happening on either sides of gender. Good luck Alex.
Alex ist unschuldig.
Seit wir Alex persönlich kennen wissen wier was von ein gute Mensch er ist , dass ist eine lüge .
Es gib sicher viele die neidisch auf sein person und erfolg sind.
Und wollen sein ruf schaden.
Wir sind mit dir Alex wir glauben an dich.
Typical American “justice†system…. Persecute the victims!
Alex for sure is not guilty, this girls are telling lies. He don´t need to use force to have a lady, and he is short and not strong enough to intimidate a lady. I knew him, he is a gentleman.
Ok. Let me start by saying this: if you’re going to place a post on a web site that can be read be English speaking people, then please, for the love of God, use a spell / grammar check! “Engles Sin Barreras” has had wonderful reviews. Your writing skill is at a 3rd grade level at best. Just getting through the first paragraph gave me a headache. Now, with that being said, I have been dancing for over 8 years. I have competed and taught as well. In that time I have never been accused of being “grabby” or referred to as being a pervert. I don’t know De Silva personally, but I do know people who have been close to him. The things they say are not very flattering. This post, however is not to slam him or judge whether or not he is innocent. This post is simply to warn salsa dancers of the failed thought process that seems to be passing through the minds of many of these “artists.” Salsa dancing is a fun skill. Don’t get me wrong. Once you get into the professional side of it, yes, there are many girls that try to make moves because they think they can get free classes. And I am not denying that there are “dangerous” girls out there. However, being armed with this knowledge, why would a professional dancer with a promising career be alone with a student? I’ve seen many dancers do their slick moves on the dance floor. It is truly pathetic simply because salsa dancing is all they have. As seen in the preceding post, some of these idiots can’t even hold an intelligent conversation. To the new girls learning to dance: this is a very fun and sensual dance, but by no means is it sexual and raunchy!! A kiss on the mouth is not acceptable once the dance has ended. There is no move where the male dancer has to have his hand on your breast or ass or any other intimate part of the body. I believe that many of the males defending this type of action are rapers in the making, so please be careful.
