DENVER—Vincent Margera, who portrayed “Don Vito” on MTV’s “Viva La Bam,” has lost his bid to overturn his Colorado conviction on two counts of sexual assault on a child.
Margera was convicted in 2007. Prosecutors said he groped three girls, ages 12 to 14, during an autograph signing event in the Denver suburb of Lakewood.
He was sentenced to 10 years to life on probation and barred from portraying the Don Vito character in public appearances for a decade.
The Colorado Court of Appeals upheld the conviction in October, but the decision wasn’t made public until this week.
“Viva La Bam” starred Margera’s nephew, professional skateboarder Bam Margera.
