The former director of a local dance group was arrested last week by the Riverside Police Department’s Sexual Assault – Child Abuse Unit on multiple felony counts of sexual assault.
31-year-old Miguel Bolanos of Chino Hills, California, was booked at the Robert Presley Detention Center on August 17. The charges against Bolanos, all of which are felonies, include:
Riverside County inmate records indicate Bolanos was released the following day on $55,000 bail.
Authorities confirmed an investigation began earlier this year after a woman reported Bolanos had sexually assaulted her in 2017. Police said an additional woman came forward shortly thereafter with allegations of sexual assault by Bolanos under similar circumstances.
According to investigators, at the time of the alleged assaults, Bolanos was affiliated as a dance group director with the University of California, Riverside’s “909 Dance Troupe,” as well as troupes known as “Snowtorious,” “Hall of Fame,” “Academy of Swag,” and “GRV.”
Detectives investigating the sexual assault claims against Bolanos have indicated they believe there may be additional survivors who have yet to come forward and report a crime. Bolanos has reportedly been affiliated as a director with numerous dance groups since at least 2013.
Anyone with information related to sexual assault claims regarding former dance group director, Miguel Bolanos, is urged to contact Riverside Police Detective Melissa Brazil at 951-353-7950 or via email at MBrazil@RiversideCA.gov.

As Dordulian Law Group’s (DLG) partner organization, RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest Network) confirms, the vast majority of sexual assaults are unfortunately never reported to police. In fact, data indicates that only 310 out of every 1,000 sexual assaults are ever reported to law enforcement authorities (meaning that more than two out of every three sex crimes ultimately go unreported).
At DLG, we believe survivors, and we’re here to help them secure the justice they deserve through civil lawsuits in pursuit of maximum financial compensation for various damages. Common damages that may be recoverable after a sexual assault include:

With over 100 jury trial victories accumulated throughout his esteemed career, Dordulian offers a level of experience and skill that simply can’t be found at most sexual assault law firms.
