According to the complaint Mazzarese called her into the basement of the pizza shop and began touching himself and then exposed himself to her.
Another victim, who was 17, told police Mazzarese took her with him on a pizza delivery and made her uncomfortable with sexual comments, when they arrived back at the shop, Mazzarese began touching her upper thigh, but was interrupted by a Portage police officer who approached the vehicle.

Documents show he was released on bond after posting his full $40,000 bail.
