Over the last six years, Alex Da Silva allegedly raped four of his dance students at his homes in the San Fernando Valley."The victims allege that he lured them to his homes in North Hollywood and Van Nuys," said the police in a statement. "He then used a ruse to get them into his bedroom where he raped them."
