Dance Instructor Accused of Rape in Boston Also Taught at Hadley School

Swampscott, MA - A Boston dance teacher accused of raping a student inside his North End apartment also taught as a substitute dance instructor at the Hadley School in Swampscott.

Wilson Anthony Halim was arraigned in Suffolk District Court last week on allegations he sexually assaulted a young boy during private dance, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley's Office said.

Wilson Anthony Halim was an occasional assistant and substitute hip hop instructor at Hadley School, according to a letter from the school’s principal.

No criminal activity has been reported to Swampscott police, but all hip hop classes at Hadley School have been canceled, according to Principal Stacy Phelan.

Phelan has been in contact with the superintendent and Swampscott police. She said she has no reason to believe anything inappropriate or improper happened at the Hadley School, according to Fox 25 News.
