Uh oh ... another man has been hit with molestation allegations. Following the scandal with former Pretty Rick singer Pleasure P, MTV "America's Best Dance Crew" judge Shane Sparks is the latest to be accused.
According to TMZ, Sparks was arrested Friday morning (December 18) and charged with eight counts of child molestation, after LAPD officers served a felony warrant on the dance judge/choreographer.
Reports indicate that the alleged incidents began in 1994 and continued for several years on one alleged victim.
Fox News LA says the victim was at around 14 or 15 years of age when the incidents took place. While the victim's identity was unknown, she was previously one of Sparks' students at Los Angeles-based Millenium Studios where he was a dance instructor.
The lewd acts include oral copulation and other acts "with the intent of arousing, appealing to, and gratifying the lust, passions, and sexual desires of the defendant, who was at least 10 years older than [the victim]."
Sparks is in custody and is currently being held on $590,000 bail.
He, nor has his camp, released a comment regarding the allegations.
