'Dance Crew' Judge Pleads Not Guilty To Sex Charge

Officials said Shane Sparks, an actor and judge on the TV show "America's Best Dance Crew," pleaded not guilty Thursday to eight sex-related sex charges. The charges include having sexual relations with an underage girl in the 1990s. Sparks, 40, is also charged with six counts of lewd acts on a child as well as two counts of oral copulation on a person under the age of 16. Sparks, whose full name is Marvin Shane Sparks, will be back in Van Nuys Superior Court on April 20 for a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to warrant a trial. The D.A. alleges that the sex crimes took place between July 1994 and April 1997
