GOLDEN, Colo. - Vincent Margera, uncle of MTV’s “Viva La Bam” star Bam Margera, was formally charged Wednesday with two felony counts of sexual assault on a child.

Vincent Margera, 50, was freed after posting $50,000 bond, the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office said.

He was arrested by Lakewood police Friday night at a mall skateboarding park where he had made a promotional appearance. A city spokeswoman has said he is accused of inappropriately touching two children during the event.
