MARGERA PLACED ON PROBATION FOR 10 YEARS TO LIFE
American reality TV star VINCENT MARGERA has been ordered to give up his DON VITO persona for 10 years 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.
