Shane Sparks, an Emmy-nominated choreographer for “So You Think You Can Dance” and a judge on “America’s Best Dance Crew,” was arrested Friday on suspicion of felony child molestation stemming from alleged incidents fifteen years ago.

The Los Angeles district attorney’s office filed an eight-count felony complaint [Friday] against Sparks, alleging multiple lewd acts upon a child, starting in 1994. It identified the victim as a girl who was younger than 14 years old when the incidents began. [LA Times]

Web site TMZ reported that Sparks attorney Steve Meister said ‘the case “stinks to high heaven” because Sparks’ accuser waited 15 years to come forward. He called the claims “extortion, Hollywood-style.” [Examiner]

Sparks, meanwhile, called the sex “statutory rape, Polanski-style.”
