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.

33. 1.The past tense of "plead" is "pleaded".

2. There is no such word as "pled".

34. i do believe vito is an idiot for touching the girls...period. but i believe bam. and also, if those girls took pics and stood in line so long, what does that say??? it means they are just after money...and i'm sure its bam's money cuz how much could is uncle make?? i bet bam paid the bail. police need to go out and get the REAL child predators...this guy wasnt lookin to touch some teenage girls...some teens look older than their age. not that it excuses his behavior. but i dont believe he's any kind of predator...a pervert maybe. but i bet he wont do it again.

35. So he was at a mall type event and touched a few young girls playing around, acting up for the camera(s), touching their clothed butts and other area's. Big deal, its not like he pulled a Rob lowe and made a sex tape with a 16 year old. Most places in this World have their legal age of consent set at 16 years, some like Canada and Iceland its 14. Ok so the latter are a little sick, but the point is this is blown way over-board.

41. How can you be sure that he actually did anything? Noone even considers that possibly this is a scam perpitrated by the girls or the parents of the girls? Maybe he brushed against them and they decided to sue. There are a million possibilites. let the courts figure it out and hopefully justice will be served. Why do you all feel the need to trash someone on allegations you know nothing about?

42. How about well just sit back and wait to see what proof these girls have that Vito did fondle them?? What are they going to say that he bumped into in a crowd?? It's some little teenagers trying to get ther 15 mins of fame and money. It's such a shame what people to do to get some money.. did it ever cross the mind of the teenagers what hell Vito will have to deal with beacuse of there lies......

43. IMO the person to blame is the mother of the girl standing there taking pictures. wtf. what kind of parent would put their child in that kind of situation unless they were looking for a big pay day; ohh look at us were victims...boo hoo.
Sure Vito is a sick sob but that doesn't necessarily make him a molester. Wait till the trial before you judge...it would not be the first time someone lied to try to get paid. The mother of the girls is probably bummed that MTV didn't offer an out of court settlement.
All I know is it's a good thing this mother of the girls doesn't have boys, b/c she would probably drop them off at Michael's ranch.

44. I strongly believe that Don Vito is innocent of all these charges. I love how the liberal media continuously twist’s things around. Good Luck Vito Salute Piasane
