MTV's Don Vito guilty of molesting girls

GOLDEN, Colo., Nov. 1 (UPI) -- Vincent Margera, star of MTV's "Viva La Bam," threw himself on the floor of a Colorado courtroom and sobbed when he was found guilty of molesting two girls.

Margera was convicted on two counts of sexual assault on a child for fondling the breasts of two girls -- one 12 and the other 14 -- during a photo op and autograph session at the Colorado Mills skate park last year, the Rocky Mountain News reported.

Margera, 51, collapsed in the courtroom Wednesday upon hearing the verdict on the first count.

"I can't spend the rest of my (expletive) life in jail! Just (expletive) kill me now!" he bellowed, knocking down defense attorney Pamela Mackey as he landed on the floor.

The announcement of a second guilty verdict prompted more wailing from Margera who remained on the ground.

"I didn't (expletive) do nothing. You can rot in (expletive) hell," yelled Margera, who is known as Don Vito on "Viva La Bam."

Four deputies dragged the emotional Margera out of the courtroom in handcuffs.

Margera faces two to six years to life in prison or could get probation when he is sentenced on Dec. 20.
