On Wednesday, authorities arrested Madison Bergmann, a 24-year-old elementary school teacher from Wisconsin, for allegedly “making out” with her fifth-grade student — less than three months before her wedding.
According to reports, Madison Bergmann’s alleged abuse of the 11-year-old boy came to light when the student’s mother overheard her son talking to the teacher on the phone.
Let’s explore the relationship of a Wisconsin elementary school teacher with an 11-year-old boy student.
Who is Madison Bergmann?
Madison Bergmann is a 24-year-old female teacher. She began teaching at River Crest Elementary in 2022.
According to her social media, Bergmann had plans to marry in July — less than three months after her arrest.
According to news reports, A 24-year-old female teacher, Madison Bergmann, alleged abuse of the 11-year-old boy came to light when the student’s mother overheard her son talking to the teacher on the phone.
The victim’s parents allegedly found texts between the pair, and the boy’s father then stormed into River Crest Elementary School with printouts of the conversations.
According to the investigation
The deranged text chain included messages from Bergmann allegedly discussing multiple encounters inside the classroom during lunch or after school.
The charging documents state that she is also accused of telling the child how much she enjoyed him touching her and “making out.”
Inside her bag, police also found a folder with the victim’s name on it containing many handwritten notes talking about how much they kissed one another, the charges allege.
In one of the letters, Bergmann allegedly wrote, “One of my cousins is in the 5th grade and I can’t imagine a man talking to her how we talk. I know we have a special relationship and I do love you more than anyone in the world, but I have to be the adult here and stop.”
It’s not clear how long the abuse had been going on, but Bergmann told investigators that she got the boy’s phone number from his mother in December when the family invited what they thought was a beloved teacher to join them at the Afton Alps for winter break.
Bergmann faces one count of first-degree child sexual assault. She posted a $25,000 signature bond and was released.
