LOS ANGELES, CA — As Alex Da Silva's court trial takes place in L.A. County, the question of how 'newsworthy' the story of his multiple arrests on numerous charges of forceful rape is, has been brought up by some people who claim that "anyone writing or talking about him and his situation, even if done from an objective perspective, is doing it only out of ill intentions and with a desire to cause him and his family more grief or harm due to some sort of 'envy'". Yes, that is really how individuals who side with him conclude on the topic of his arrest and any news found on the web anywhere. Yet, the question is not whether to side by him or not...but if it really is not newsworthy to write about a case where a prominent dancer is arrested on multiple claims of rape.

When the story first broke in 2009, it appeared on websites like TMZ.com and many other respectable news outlets on the web, such as L.A. Times, The Huffington Post, etc. So, obviously, the fact that a choreographer to a famous television show like SYTYCD, which had a wide audience at the time, got arrested on multiple charges of rape, was, indeed, very newsworthy! So, why is it that as the trial is taking place and websites report on the preliminary hearings or proceedings, it is seen as something that is being done out of ill-intentions?

In February 2011, the popular Los Angeles Salsa dancing website, SalsaHook.com, showcased an article on the subject of Alex's trial and soon-to-begin proceedings. The topic gained a lot of attention and prompted supporting comments by Alex Da Silva's own sister, Stacy Da Silva, who thanked the writer of the article for denoting issues about Alex's health in prison. Stacy comments came all the way from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, where she anxiously awaits the results of Alex's trial and hopes for his freedom at the end of the proceedings. Other comments came from individuals who had previously been hurt or ripped off by Alex's business practices in his auto body shop business in North Hollywood, CA, and who believed that even if Alex was proven innocent he had already been punished for all his past wrongdoings to numerous individuals, but who also maintained that if he was indeed guilty, he should serve his time and pay for his crimes.

The story of Alex Da Silva has been written about on salsa dancing websites from all parts of the world. As an example, Sederick of [ OnlineSalsa.com, a website based in The Netherlands also wrote about Alex's trial and his incidents of health inside prison. It is not ill-intended to write about a topic of this sort; it is simple news that obviously people are interested about.

As of today, we don't know the results of Alex's trial, but in the next few months, we will all know what happened and whether he walks or stays in prison, the salsa scene will forever remember what happened to him and such will serve as a lesson for all inside the scene. Women should be careful with the men who lead them in the dance, and men who are good dancers should learn to separate the fact that they only get "yes" on the dance floor with the fact that they might hear a "no" in the bedroom, and they should simply not force anything to happen. Such is independent of Alex's story; it is just a general advise of caution to all that love and appreciate salsa dancing and its environment.
