So..America's Best Dance Crew udge Shane Sparks has been arrested in Los Angeles and charged with 8 felony counts of child molestation, TMZ is reporting. The Los Angeles Police Department took Sparks into custody at 8 am PT Friday morning. According to the criminal complaint, the alleged incidents began occurring in 1994 and involve one victim, an under-aged girl.
The complaint accuses the 35-year-old Sparks of engaging in 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 -- best known for his past work as a choreographer on 'So You Think You Can Dance' -- is being held on $590,000 bail.
Sparks is actually the second person tied to 'So You Think You Can Dance' who's been in trouble with the law. Earlier this year, his co-star and dancing instructor Alex Da Silva was charged with sexual assault.
He has also worked with artists such as Aaliyah, Monica, and Lindsay Lohan. His work on the 2004 film 'You Got Served' earned him an American Choreography Awards and was nominated for Emmy for 'So You Think ...'
