America’s Best Dance Crew judge and former So You Think You Can dance choreographer Shane Sparks is defending himself against child molestation charges filed against him last week. Sparks, who was arrested on Friday and charged with 8 counts of felony child molestation, which allegedly occurred in 1994 with one of his former dance students.
Sparks was released on bail last night and is now working on proving that the charges leveled against him are false, and merely an attempt at extortion. E! News spoke with Mr. Sparks’ attorney, Steve Meister, who released this statement:
“Shane Sparks is innocent, he knows it and soon the world will know it. We are going to fight this tooth and nail. It’s a bogus accusation that reeks of opportunism and exploitation. The timing is beyond suspicious, and this whole thing stinks to high heaven. We are going to fight to clear his name, and we are going to succeed.”
