LOS ANGELES (AP) - April 8, 2009
Prosecutors said Wednesday that police are investigating
allegations that 41-year-old Alex Da Silva lured the female dance
students into his bedroom and raped them in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
The salsa dancer, who teaches at several Los Angeles dance
studios, was arrested Saturday and was released from jail Tuesday.
Defense attorney Harland Braun says some of the people with whom
his client had sex "don't understand the difference between being
seduced and being raped."
