After Jackass ended, the stars of the show had to find something else to do – be it make rubbish films like Dukes Of Hazzard, freak out on reality TV shows like Love Island or carry on doing the Jackass shtick on shows like Viva La Bam.
One of the Viva La Bam stars is Bam Margera's uncle Vincent Margera; a compulsively offensive, unintelligible, obese old man whose eyes point in different directions. Chances are you've seen him before. Anyway, Vincent Margera has been formally charged for groping two young girls during an event at a skatepark. It's not clear what Vincent Margera's punishment will be if he's found guilty of his charges, but it's expected to involve a shopping trolley, a bag of fireworks, a string of sausages and a pool full of alligators.
Of all the stars of Jackass, it was only Bam Margera who felt the need to exploit his family. And Jessica Simpson too, apparently, but mainly his family. As well as setting off fireworks inside his Dad's van and an alligator inside his Mum's kitchen, Bam Margera liked to pick on his Uncle Don Vito – Vincent Margera. But now Vincent Margera has got his own back for Bam destroying several of his vehicles by, er, getting charged for fondling or groping a 12-year-old and 14-year-old girl at a signing event in a skatepark. MTV reports:
Both counts are class-four felonies; a spokesperson for the Jefferson County District Attorney's office said the charges don't necessarily carry a mandatory prison term, but if convicted, Margera could face two years in prison and/or probation that could last from a mandatory 10 years up to lifetime supervision… He is accused of inappropriately fondling or groping two girls, ages 12 and 14, during two separate incidents at a signing event at Woodward Skatepark at Colorado Mills mall Friday night.
As terrifying as it must be for a 12-year-old girl to have a sweaty, lumbering man grabbing at you while mumbling incomprehensibly – enough to put you off ever sitting on Santa's lap again, we'd imagine – is it any more terrifying than having your teeth pulled out by a speeding Lamborghini like Vincent Margera is subjected to in the Jackass 2 trailer? Well, yes, probably.
Vincent Margera returns to court on Monday.

Bam Margera's Uncle Don Vito Formally Charged With Child Sexual Assault – MTV

Gross.

Don Vito picked the wrong State in the US to even think about making physical contact of any kind with a minor—Colorado. Known for its hard stance on any kind of sexual assault and when with a minor, oh my they will throw the book at a person..glad to see he got Kobe Bryants attorney but to me it is an indication of the man is in deep and knows he will need the best to get out of this one. With recent Jon Benet Ramsey story and again this being in the same state, I’m afraid Mr Vito aint gonna skate on this one. Would also hope his nephew and co horts think twice about a US release of that Jessica Simpson song parody they have done about having sex with her as well…doesnt play well for us who do take sexual assualts and defamation of women a bit more seriously than Don Vito has. I wish the man well, but if he’s guilty he needs to be a registered sex offender in a national database the rest of his life and not live near any K-12 schools…Sorry, but I’ve laughed at his antics and enjoyed the show, but no longer—gone too far with this one and aint no Ashton Kushner popping into his recent holding cell shouting ‘you’ve been punked Don Vito’….on the contrary the punking could come for real if a sentence is handed down.

I couldn’t stand the him on the show and if he did mess with those children, the hell with the book, he needs to be shot while holding the cook… DEATH TO VITO!!!
Flip tredee says
if people like R Kelly, Kobe, and OJ can walk for what they did, Vito should be eating veal scalopini asap. Those girls are after money and thats it. If they knew him well enough to get his autograph they knew he was going to hug them when they sat on his lap. Im not saying that he didnt do it or that it was right. I am just saying those girls had a motive. FREE DON VITO …. YOOOOOO

So let me get this straight. We are going to “possibly” put someone away for the rest of his life, for groping two young girls. That deserves a life sentence. Is this the direction that our country is heading. Correction, apparently our country is already there. C’mon people. I’m all about child saftey, and I don’t advocate for sex crimes of a minor, but lets have the punishment at least fit the crime. Sexual predation is one thing, but groping?? To even have groping, and life in prison in the same sentence, is freaking ludicris. I will admit that Vito is off his rocker 99 times out of a 100, but lets try and get the guy some help before we start throwing out the words “life in prison.” I don’t blame the guy for collapsing on the floor of a court room. I know if I had heard those words coming out of a judges mouth, I would have lost it too.
Maybe if Vito was an ultra-conservative bathroom stall foot tapper, he would have a better chance at getting the charges dropped. That seems to work for some people.

VIVA LA BAM!
