10 years to life probation for Margera

10 months ago 25th Dec 07:01

Vincent Margera’s, American reality TV star,’s Don Vito persona will be scrapped after 10 years – this follows orders to give it up following his recent conviction on child sex assault charges.

The Viva La Bam star - the uncle of Jackass regular Bam Margera - was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault against children in October (07).

During sentencing in a Jefferson County, Colorado courtroom on Thursday (20Dec07), Judge M.J. Menendez banned Margera from signing autographs and from appearing on any TV show for a decade.

Judge Menendez also placed Margera on probation from 10 years to life and ordered him to register as a sex offender, seek treatment for his substance abuse problems and undertake a mental evaluation.

The 51-year-old had pleaded not guilty to allegations he groped three underage girls at an MTV appearance in a Colorado mall in August 2006. He was found guilty on two counts, but acquitted on another.
