Madison Bergmann, charged with ‘making out’ with student, faces more counts
The Wisconsin teacher busted for allegedly “making out” with an 11-year-old student in her classroom has been slapped with more charges — and could spend the rest of her life in prison, if convicted.
Madison Bergmann, 24, now faces nine additional felonies — one count of using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, five charges of sexual misconduct by school staff, two charges of child enticement causing mental or bodily harm, and a charge of exposing a child to harmful materials, according to an amended complaint filed last week.
The former fifth-grade teacher at River Crest Elementary School was previously charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child.
If sentenced consecutively, she faces up to 185 years in prison.
It’s a stunning fall from grace for Bergmann.
According to the criminal complaint, 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. Suspicious, the parents checked the boy’s phone and allegedly found salacious texts between the pair.
The deranged text chain included messages from Bergmann allegedly discussing multiple encounters inside the Hudson, Wis., classroom during lunch or after school. She allegedly told the child how much she enjoyed him touching her and “making out.”
Some of the alleged assaults even happened in Bergmann’s classroom, according to the complaint.
The boy’s enraged father then stormed into River Crest Elementary School with printouts of the conversations, authorities said.
When police searched Bergmann’s classroom, they allegedly found a folder in her bag with the victim’s name on it. The folder allegedly contained handwritten notes talking about how much they kissed.
Bergmann was supposed to get married in July — but the nuptials never happened. At the time, a friend told The Post that the accusations blindsided the groom-to-be, Sam Hickman.
“He’s really, really hurt. Not talking too much about it, just like, ‘This is f–ked up,’” the groom’s friend said. “He says it was f–ked up that she cheated with a little kid.”
An attorney for Bergmann has not returned The Post’s requests for comment. She has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
