For sexually assaulting 2 young girls. He's may be going to jail for life!

DENVER â?? 9NEWS has learned that Vincent Margera, who plays "Don Vito" on MTV's "Viva La Bam," is under suicide watch after he was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault on a child.


Margera was found guilty on Wednesday of two counts and acquitted of a third after he was accused of fondling three girls during a public appearance at a mall Lakewood. The victims were 12 and 13 years old.

9NEWS has learned that Margera is currently at a Level 1 status, which means there are limitations on his movement and he is under a suicide watch.

Margera is scheduled to be sentenced on December 20.

In Colorado, sex offenders can only be sentenced to probation for a minimum of 10 years, or an indeterminate life sentence. They can only be paroled from the indeterminate life sentence by the Colorado Parole Board. However, 9NEWS has obtained statistics that show of the nearly 1,000 people sentenced for felony sex offenses since 1998, only three have been paroled.

A person close to the investigation who wished to remain anonymous told 9NEWS: "If Margera does go to prison, it's for life. The jury said what he did was wrong. Should he be punished? Yes. But life in prison for what he did? No."

After the verdict was read on Wednesday, Margera collapsed onto the floor of the courtroom and yelled, "Just kill me now."

He kept yelling and moving around, but Jefferson County deputies eventually restrained him and took him to jail.

He will remain in custody until his sentencing.
