MILWAUKEE — A long-time priest accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting an elementary school aged girl in Wauwatosa will be sentenced Friday, December 15th.

76-year-old Robert Marsicek pleaded guilty on Monday, October 23rd to three amended counts of fourth-degree sexual assault (a misdemeanor). Marsicek was initially charged with three counts of first-degree child sexual assault – contact with a child under age 13.

Marsicek, known to many as Father Bob, was charged in connection with events that allegedly took place at St. Pius X Grade School in Wauwatosa. The alleged molestation took place from 2007 through 2010.

In December 2016, a 15-year-old girl went to Wauwatosa police to discuss allegations that she was sexually assaulted by Marsicek.
