They said that the four vicitims were all students of Da Silva at the time of the assaults. "The victims allege that he lured them to his homes in North Hollywood and Van Nuys," the police said in a statement. "He then used a ruse to get them into his bedroom where he raped them."

 

This is really as shameful news for the teachers and stigmatized relationship between a teacher and a student. Most shameful that he has been continued it from 2003. Although three students complained and filed cases but did not take any steps. At last, based on 4^th student’s complain the police arrested him on April 5, 2009.
