GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) ? Bail was set at $50,000 Monday for Vincent Margera, uncle of "Viva La Bam" star Bam Margera, on a charge of sexual assault on a child.
Vincent Margera, 50, was arrested Friday in the Denver suburb of Lakewood.
Lakewood city spokeswoman Stacie Oulton has said he is accused of two incidents of sexual assault on a child involving inappropriate touching. During his court hearing Monday, prosecutors claimed he had "groped" a 14-year-old.
Vincent Margera had come to Colorado to film promotional material for ManiaTV.com and was arrested after a skateboarding event at a mall. ManiaTV.com founder Drew Massey said Margera had finished his work before the arrest.
Vincent Margera had not posted bail by mid-afternoon Monday, and officials at the Jefferson County jail in Golden did not answer after-hours calls.
The MTV show "Viva La Bam" focuses largely on Bam Margera playing practical jokes on his parents and uncle, whose dialogue is often unintelligible.
Bam Margera, a professional skateboarder, was not with his uncle on the trip.
