A former So You Think You Can Dance choreographer — who spent four years on the hit show — was sentenced on Friday in a Los Angeles courthouse to 10 years in prison for rape.

Alex Da Silva, 43, was arrested in 2009 and charged with eight felony counts of assault stemming from allegations of rape and assault from aspiring dancers between the ages of 20 and 26.
