VANDERGRIFT (KDKA) — Robert Mizic, 45, lives in the small Westmoreland County borough of Vandergrift.
Back in the late-1970s, when Mizic was growing up in suburban Philadelphia, he attended a small Catholic school in Pottstown where he served as an altar boy at St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church.
That’s when he says the abuse began.
He says his mother, Bev, went to rectory and complained when he told her “the priest had asked me some lewd questions in the confessional.” He was never specific at the time.
After that, he says the priest first sexually and then physically abused him for a period of several months.
Mizic is going public now for the first time because of the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s report on the alleged widespread sex abuse of children in the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese.
