WHAT PEOPLE WILL DO FOR MONEY

Shane Sparks is dancing his way right into a courtroom battle.

One of the most influential hip-hop choreographers on Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance, and judge of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew is prepping to fight back against felony child molestation charges brought against him last Friday.

“Shane Sparks is innocent, he knows it and soon the world will know it. We are going to fight this tooth and nail,” Sparks’ attorney Steve Meister tells E! News. Sparks posted bail late Saturday night, and is now solely focused on clearing his name.

Meister explains that the accusations are not only unfounded, but coincide with an all-too-common occurrence in recent Hollywood history.

Not unlike the Travolta family and John Stamos, Meister asserts that the claims being made against Sparks mirror an attempt at extortion.

“It’s a bogus accusation that reeks of opportunism and exploitation. The timing is beyond suspicious, and this whole thing stinks to high heaven,” states Meister. “We are going to fight to clear his name, and we are going to succeed.”

The next step in the Sparks case will be building his defense and proving his innocence, which Meister is confident he will be able to do for his client.

On Friday, Sparks was arrested in Los Angeles on eight counts of felony child molestation for an alleged crime that occurred more than a decade ago. The charges involve one female victim, who has only recently come forward with the accusations. If convicted, Sparks will have to provide fingerprints and a DNA sample for a national database of sex offenders.

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD!?!  First Chris Brown beats up Rihanna then Tiger Woods sexing every blond headed female, Pleasure P touching little boys now Shane Sparks thinks he can allegedly molest children and get away with it!!!! WHAT THE HECK!!!! The Emmy-nominated So You Think You Can Dance choreographer was arrested and charged with eight counts of felony child molestation earlier today. Shane Sparks was busted at approximately 8 a.m. at his N. Hollywood residence and taken to Van Nuys jail, where he is being held on $590,000 bail. “Sparks has been the subject of an ongoing child-molestation investigation,” LAPD spokesman Bruce Borihanh confirmed this afternoon to E! News. Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, reports that a criminal complaint was filed by Sparks’ alleged victim. The victim’s name is being withheld as she was a minor at the time. Shane Sparks Pictures Sounds like you are not the man, Shane Sparks. “There’s one victim. It occurred in the ’90s. I believe it started in ’94 and went on for several years,” Robison said. “She was an underage girl. She was under 15 when the alleged crimes occurred. She is an adult now and came forward to authorities.” Sparks’ rep was not available for comment. Before So You Think You Can Dance, Shane was best known for choreographing the movie You Got Served. He is also a judge on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew. He is the second choreographer affiliated with SYTYCD to be charged with sex crimes in recent months, following the arrest of Alex Da Silva for rape in August. Maybe in a few months, they can work on some sweet orange-jumpsuit, jailhouse rock-themed routines with their fellow inmates. Sorry, that was a low blow.

MOTHER OF CHILD IN THE ALLEGED PLEASURE P CASE SPEAKS OUT

Whoever put the papers on there… they altered that paper. But this paper I have is the real paper. ––Reese

In yet another twist to the Pleasure P saga, the mother of the child named in documents that claimed the 24-year-old Grammy-nominated singer had faced child molestation charges is talking. The mother, who calls herself Reese, told blog radio host Isis Wisdom that the allegations of Pleasure P’s childhood past are true. However, she made it a point to say that the former Pretty Ricky member, born Marcus Cooper, has never harmed her son. “Marcus never did anything to my child. He loves my son,” Reese said of the man she was once involved with. “I do not know any A. Goldstein (the lawyer allegedly associated with the Internet leak). I’m not familiar with [that] law firm. I have my documents from Andrew L. Sigel that was handling the case for me.” Reese said the entire incident stems from a background check the Department of Children and Families performed when she was ordered to go to prison for an undisclosed crime. “This particular document here is an order for placement in shelter,” she explained. “And how these papers came about is I was on my way prison and my dad was going to be taking care of my child for me. My father is Joseph Smith (the same person also named on the documents). The next day they came and removed my son from my father’s house. And we didn’t know why. That’s when we found out what [happened] in Marcus’ past. He had a charge dealing with children… a molestation charge, that’s what I was told.” “I love Marcus,” Reese continued. “I don’t want to mess up anyone’s career. When I got out [of jail], I tried to call and speak with Marcus but I didn’t get an answer. The last time I spoke to Marcus was in 2005, when I had to go pick up his son so I could bring him to the house. So I stopped trying. I just feel terrible. I’m not on either side. My son’s name is in it. I just feel terrible. Whoever put the papers on there, they did something with the papers. They altered that paper. But this paper I have is the real paper.” As last reported in an interview with Pleasure P, the singer told VIBE that the child molestation charges were maliciously fake. “It’s all lies,” he said adamantly of the leaked paperwork. “[The things] being said about me, I take it very seriously. We will get to the bottom of it.

” The controversy came on the heels of Pleasure P receiving three Grammy nominations for his solo album, The Introduction of Marcus Cooper.–Keith Murphy
