LAKE MARY, Fla. -- At least five more people have come forward with allegations against a popular dance teacher accused of sexually assaulting students.Georgio Fagan was arrested at his Lake Mary dance studio on Friday. Monday, he was back in class and still has plenty of students to teach.Signs supporting Fagan were posted in the window at his dance studio and he was open for business Monday. Eyewitness News caught up with parents who brought their children to class. They said, even with the other girls that have come forward, they don't believe it.The door was locked and a sign on the door said "No Media Allowed," but Georgio's American Dance Studio was open for business Monday.One mom told Eyewitness News that she doesn't believe the allegations."I really know the family, really well. So I really trust them. So I know all of these things have to not be true," said Gina Ravera.Fagan opened the door for dancers while Lake Mary detectives questioned even more girls who have come forward since the dance instructor's arrest Friday."As of this point, the Lake Mary Police Department has received five more leads," said Sgt. David Prince, Lake Mary Police Department.Because Fagan bonded out of jail and didn't go before a judge, there were no conditions on his release. He's free to hold class until his day in court."He could possibly re-offend and there's also the possibility that, if there were someone within that dance community that is hedging on coming forward, because they're now having daily contact with him, I think they would be put in a position of least likely to come forward," Prince said.
