MTV and Fox network executives should probably start looking for another judge and choreographer.  

Choreographer Shane Sparks was arrested and charged with multiple felony counts of child molestation.  Sparks was arrested and released on $590,000 bail.

Sparks is a judge alongside  rapper Lil Mama and N’Sync singer J.C. Chasez on the MTV dance competition show “America’s Best Dance Crew.”  He is also a choreographer on “So You Think You Can Dance.”

According to a court affidavit obtained by TMZ, a girl is accusing Sparks of molesting her in 1994 and 1995 when she was under the age of 14.  Sparks was in his mid-20s when the alleged incidents occurred. 

Sparks’ attorney told reporters his client is innocent of all charges.  He said the accusations are false, and they are part of an extortion attempt.

I’m not sure whether he’s guilty or innocent. Regardless, his career is pretty much over.  Any child molestation allegation is crippling to anyone’s livelihood regardless of the outcome in court. 

Sparks has choreographed dance routines for Lindsay Lohan, Aaliyah and Monica, among others.  He also choreographed the dances for the film “You Got Served.”
