Celebrity Justice
More Legal Trouble for Don Vito

Don Vito, the unintelligible, overweight uncle of jackass Bam Margera, was charged with 12 felony counts of violating bail related to a Colorado arrest last year. Vito was charged with fondling three girls between the ages of 13 and 15, during an August 2006 appearance at a Colorado Mills mall. One girl testified at a preliminary hearing that Vito grabbed her breast.

He pled not guilty to all charges and was freed on $50,000 bail. As a condition of his bail, he was ordered not to use drugs or alcohol, and to have no contact with children. It was not immediately clear what the nature of his bail violations were.

Vito regularly appears on Margera's MTV show "Viva La Bam" and is often the butt of Bam's jokes and attacks.

The trial will reconvene on October 22.

17. Alcoholics can't just stop because of bail conditions. Any fool knows it's not that simple...it's an addiction. IMO, they set him up to fail. I disapprove of his...ways, but he does that crap to be funny and didn't know their age. The girls didn't seem offended, pictures were taken and they had smiles. Yep, still his fault...but don't act like he's a child predator. The suit is about money, plain and simple. Speaking as someone who was molested/raped, you don't find it amusing...at all, even for a second and certainly don't want a keepsake (picture).

19. Obviously none of you know anything about produce. It's a common practice to squeeze melons to see if they are ripe. Unfortunately for Don Vito, they weren't.

21. I've *heard* in one case, the parent actually took the photo, but I can't confirm it.

23. bam has not lost popularity! he has been out of the spotlight because he is working on Minghags the movie...also Dreamseller with Brandon Novak, who is writing his book now. he also hosts his own radio show and has a busy schedule. i've been a fan of bam forever and whatever his uncle does shouldnt have a bearing on bam's career, imo.

25. Any confirmed child molester should be immediately castrated. Then put them under the jail and give them plenty of solitary time to play with the little stub that used to be their genitals!

26. Bam was on howard stern a while back and said that the charges were totally bogus and he didnt even really touch those girls and that vito is just an idiot and doesn't realize what he's doing.... i got say i believe him - vito's not the sharpest tool in the shed!

27. Why is this fat F*&k making news here. The creep is a child molester and just plain creepy. The only news he should be making is if he's in jail. He's not a celebrity even if he's moderstly related to someone somewhat famous. GET HIM OFF OF HERE.

28. The girls were told to leave, because they were taking too long in the autograph line. That fact came up in court and by the prosecution's side . Oops. Why would they hang around if they were uncomfortable or, even worse, being molested?

Posted at 4:00PM on Aug 28th 2007 by Vito is an idiot, nothing more.

29. Vito if you can afford $50,000 for bail, you can afford a high class escort, idoit!!

30. Yeah #15.... I don't know why the media didn't run with this instead of Vick either..Other than these 2 little facts: That nobody over 30 knows who he is and the fact that if he goes to jail for a year he will probably lose like 200 dollars and Vick will lose 100 million.. Good point..
