HUDSON, WI – A former elementary school teacher in Hudson, Wisconsin, confronts significant legal challenges after allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a fifth-grade student. Madison Bergmann stands accused of multiple felony charges that expose a profound breach of professional and ethical boundaries.
Detailed Criminal Allegations
Court documents reveal Bergmann is charged with 10 felonies, with the most serious being first-degree sexual assault of a person under 13 years old. The case originated when River Crest Elementary’s principal contacted Hudson police, reporting potential misconduct between Bergmann and a student.
Criminal records indicate investigators uncovered text message screenshots documenting explicit communications. According to the criminal complaint, the messages allegedly included Bergmann discussing how much she “enjoyed the child touching her” and references to “making out.”
Legal Proceedings Underway
Bergmann has entered not guilty pleas across all 10 counts. Her legal team has strategically filed motions to:
- Suppress specific evidence
- Dismiss the first four counts, citing “insufficient evidence”
A motion hearing is scheduled for December 19, which will be critical in determining the trajectory of the case.
Potential Consequences
The allegations represent a serious violation of professional standards in an educational environment. If convicted, Bergmann could face substantial legal penalties, including potential imprisonment and permanent removal from educational roles.
The case continues to develop, with legal proceedings set to provide further insights into the specific allegations against the former educator.
