Wauwatosa police have completed a second investigation into a local priest and decided not to pursue charges after a forensic interview was performed with a child.
The mother of the child contacted police when her daughter told her that Father Robert Marsicek kissed the child’s lips and rubbed her back and buttocks, according to a police report obtained Thursday by the Journal Sentinel.
Marsicek has already been removed from his posts at two parishes and two schools after he was accused of inappropriate contact with children.
According to police, the girl’s statement changed during a forensic interview, and the interviewer thought the girl had been coached or overly questioned by her mother about her interactions with the priest.
