Alex Da Silva verdict: guilty, and could be out of jail soon

Alex Da Silva verdict: guilty, and could be out of jail soon

ALEX DA SILVA VERDICT 2011 — The jury found Alex Da Silva guilty on 2 counts, one of raping a 22-year old woman in August 2002, and another of attempted rape of a 25-year old woman in August 2009. All other chargers were declared as a mistrial by the judge, which included 2 additional rape charges on 2 additional alledged victims. 

Alex faces up to 14 years in prison and will return to court in November 8. 

With the 2 years of time served that Alex already put in, and the shortage of jail space and California's financial struggles, sources tell us that Alex Da Silva could quite likely be out between 1 or 2 years. Although others believe he might have to serve up to 85% of his sentence time. 

The idea of a shorter time in jail (even though already extensive) may come as a true disappointment for so many people who wish Da Silva the worst, and have celebrated his possible imprisonment of up to 14 years or more. We only comment on this, in this fashion, because of posts that have made such feelings clear in our Salsahook.com website and past article comments on the topic

We will see what happens on November 8. 

A person closed to the Da Silva family, took the time to document the proceedings and testimonies of the trial and post them on an online blog. There were many supporters of Da Silva during this ordeal. 


It is a possibility that an appeal is submitted. We will keep you informed.

Stacy. I feel sorry for your brother and Women would throw themselves at Him all the time when I knew him.
He may have been set up by People he burned in business deals that he did where He did rip off a friend of mine. Maybe that's what happened because he did not have to Rape women.
He also never should have made fun of Authorities in that Skit He did in Germany. That was Dumb and arrogant.
It seems he did himself in and I hope he survives Jail because He never did me Wrong.Read More

This guy had been taking advantage of women, luring into his convenient locations and sexually forcing himself on them.
the ones that voluntarily started a "Relationship" with this guy, not only were they used for sex and to cater to him, ferrying him around, doing errands but eventually found themselves scammed of thousands of Dls that he would borrow for "expected emergencies" but never intending to pay back.
for the few times when women demanded to be repaid; He would only refuse to discuss the matter and avoid contact.
but after many years of such scams and rapes, it is all catching up with him.

People in the Salsa scene do not need this kind of Predators regardless of participation in the scene. Salsa is about a skill, sport, hobby making new friends from around the world and socializing in general NOT the predatory grounds for criminals utilizing their skill to accomplish their deeds.
Hopefully others with similar actions will heed the msg. as the Justice System makes this creep accountable.

Stacy, you have to let it go and stop paying attention to what people say about your brother. Regardless of what people say, he was found guilty, so in the eyes of everyone who's not family or friends, he's guilty. He'll do his time and will be out of jail soon enough to join his family. I recommend you stop trying to convince people that he's innocent because no one will believe you. Heck, I don't even know what to believe anymore.

I recommend you stop trying to convince people that he's innocent because no one will believe you. Heck, I don't even know what to believe anymore. I don't think people are jealous because to be quite honest, there's nothing to be jealous of. At the time of his arrest, his net worth wasn't much.

Just stop fighting it. You'll never win the war of trying to restore his reputation. His reputation will be damaged for the rest of his life and it's very likely he'll have to register as a sex offender. That's reality! Just go on with your life and stop fighting a fight you just won't win.

And for those talking all that sh*t, you gotta stop. Leave the guy alone. He'll do his time. None of us are perfect and we have no right to judge. So quit that high school behavior and let this family have some peace!

Wishing everyone the very best!

Stacy, we have never met ... but I took lessons with Alex when he taught on Potrero Hill/San Francisco in the early 90's ... I recognized his talent right away. He was the most charismatic male dancer on the Salsa scene ... and his style was outrageous ... all of his female friends seemed to respect him, and he reciprocated the respect back to them ... perhaps there is a conspiracy against him? ... but I will keep him in my prayers, and hope God gives him courage and strength to persevere ...

Hi Stacy, I feel your anger as well as disappointment.

I was a student of Alex back in the early 90's down in Mountain View, California / Bay Area (just South of San Francisco) as well as hired him for the Black & White Ball in San Francisco 1995.

Alex was always a gentleman....always kind...and always the focal point too. I am sure he had his fun with women and whom would not have had / done the same... he is a great / fun guy to be around... nothing wrong with that.… Read More

I was a student of Alex back in the early 90's down in Mountain View, California / Bay Area (just South of San Francisco) as well as hired him for the Black & White Ball in San Francisco 1995.

Alex was always a gentleman....always kind...and always the focal point too. I am sure he had his fun with women and whom would not have had / done the same... he is a great / fun guy to be around... nothing wrong with that.

I despite the type women that throw themselves at guys and start playing games trying to Get something more for the fact that they were intimate with someone.

I don't want to sound sexist here....but it is in some way going to sound that way... so I ask you (not Stacy) but the other readers (women) that read this to please understand what I REALLY am saying here.

What I am saying is that many ...and I do mean MANY women think that since they are deciding to be intimate with a guy, they should have XYZ in return and then some... I like to call it a "modern day hooker" .... a person that expects MUCH more than just respect in return...they expect Money and property and.... the list goes on.... this holds especially true for American women...but I tell you one thing... Foreign women "learn really fast" once they come over here... How "The Dating Game" is played...

....and it is an UGLY game.

I can totally see how Alex could have fallen in that trap...

He is / was fun, Engaging, charming, an Awesome dancer and instructor and I saw up close how women would make passes at him and even try to seduce him.

Was he not reciprocating? yes he was... but whom would have not reciprocated / responded in a positive way to that... the problem would start when The GAMES would have started...and the ULTERIOR motives would have kicked in...

...and I could so easily see how a woman would have become Bitter if she did not GET ALL OF HIM...meaning, Get the Respect that THEY THOUGHT that they should have gotten... and then if they did not get that... they would go for "Whatever they Could Legally".

...and I guess that is what you see the Aftermath of now.

I feel for you Stacy... I really do... I hope he is going to appeal and hopefully we will see another ending to this.

I wish both you and Alex much success in the future and hopefully we can all put this NIGHTMARE behind us.

Sincerely.

Me

What others believe, especially those that don't know him, really shouldn't matter.

Lastly, yes. To me it's "oh well" because anyone convicted of rape should spend the rest of their life in jail. Because I wasn't there, I have to believe that he did it since he was found guilty. I hope you understand.

I knew Alex Personally. I must tell you that he would talk about what he would do to women and was proud that he could "make a woman have sex with him" Alex would talk about this and I am sure that Stacey had no idea what was happening at his house on Bennett Drive. Alex was a manipulative man who forced women to have sex and raped more women then the police and prosecution knew. He earned his conviction and prison term and then he will be deported back to Brazil.
