ST. CROIX COUNTY, Wis. (WEAU) - A former Hudson teacher who was charged after having an alleged inappropriate relationship with a 5th grader has been sentenced.

Online court records show Bergmann was charged with ten felonies, including child enticement and 1st degree child sexual assault.

As WEAU reported- 26-year-old Madison Bergmann was arrested and charged in early May 2024.

Investigators were shown screenshots of a text conversation between Bergmann and one of her 5th grade students at River Crest Elementary with her talking about how much she enjoyed the child touching her and the pair “making out.”

Bergmann was 24 at the time. The student was 11.

A search of Bergmann’s belongings at school uncovered nearly 100 letters, love notes, and artwork exchanged between the two.

On Friday in St. Croix County Court Bergmann was sentenced to six years of prison followed by six years of extended supervision.

Bergmann resigned from her position with the Hudson public schools in May last year.
