Shane Sparks

Shane Sparks, a 35-year-old esteemed choreographer on Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance and a judge on America’s Best Dance Crew, has been arrested and charged with eight counts of felony child molestation.

The award-winning hip-hop enthusiast was taken into custody by detectives at 8 a.m. at his home in North Hollywood on a felony warrant, according to E! Online. His real name is Melvin Sparks. This reveal is sure to shock Spark’s many avid fans who credit some of the SYTYCD’s best routines to the smooth-talking choreographer. He is currently being held in Van Nuys jail and holds a bail of $590,000.

Apparently, this investigation is focused on a decade old case, and it involves an unnamed victim, who was a teenager at the time. “There’s one victim and it occured in the ’90s. I believe it started in ’94 and went on for several years,” says Jane Robison, who was free to make comments on the behalf of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. According to E! news, the victim was under reportedly under 15 when the alleged molestation occurred. Now that she is an adult she has decided to step forward and report the incidences to authorities.

This show can’t cut a break. Just recently, Alex Da Silva, the salsa choreographer for the show, was arrested in August with the charges of rape in regard to four of his dance students.

President Barack Obama surprised the world with his dance moves alongside wife and first lady Michelle Obama. The couple danced at the Neighborhood Ball, and “America’s Best Dance Crew” judge Shane Sparks has given his opinion on the President’s moves.

“I think they did really good,” Sparks told MTV News. “I was actually really proud. It looked like my man got rhythm. It looked like he was in control. … It looked like he really loved her, and I loved that.”

However, the judge did give the Obamas some constructive criticism, “Their posture wasn’t perfect. I would honestly say I’m sure they could take a few lessons. They could use a little Shane Sparks in there,” Sparks joked to MTV News.

Still, the President and the first lady get at least one thumb up from Sparks, “”It was really smooth,” he told MTV News. “It looked like they knew exactly what they did and when they wanted to do it. It was 50/50. It wasn’t perfect, but the good thing was they didn’t look uptight”.
