An Orange County tap-dance instructor was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday on charges of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student.
If convicted of the charges, he faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, according to an Orange County district attorney’s report.
At the times of the alleged incidents last summer, Marriott was an instructor at Focus Dance Center in Irvine, according to the report.
Marriott reportedly cultivated the girl, then a student at the center, by telling her often that she was pretty.
He is accused of sexually assaulting the girl twice in his car, once after taking her to see a movie, according to the report.
He allegedly sent the girl sexually explicit text messages, which her parents discovered and reported to police.
Anyone with information about other alleged victims is asked to call Costa Mesa police at (714) 754-5360 or (714) 754-5395.
