The man known
as "Don Vito" on MTV's show "Viva La Bam" has been
convicted of two counts of sexual assault on a child.
Fifty-one-year-old Vincent Margera
of West
Chester, Pennsylvania, was accused of groping three girls
ages 12 to 14 during an autograph signing event last year at mall skate park in
the Denver, Colorado suburb of Lakewood.
After he was convicted Wednesday, he
fell to the floor cursing and yelled, "Just kill me now."
Margera was acquitted of a third
count of sex assault on a child. He faces a sentence of probation to six years
in prison on each conviction.
A district attorney's spokeswoman says if he doesn't
comply with sex offender treatment as part of the sentence, he could
potentially spend life in prison.
