A 24-year-old Wisconsin teacher who did a “f**ked up sex act” on an 11-year-old boy just before she was about to tie the knot has been hauled before the courts again.
Madison Bergmann is now facing a lifetime behind bars after being charged with a horrifying array of child sexual abuse offenses.
Initially arrested for an alleged sexual encounter with an 11-year-old student; Bergmann now faces nine additional felony charges, including computer-facilitated child sex crimes, sexual misconduct, child enticement, and exposing a child to harmful materials.

The shocking allegations came to light when the boy’s father stormed into River Crest Elementary School armed with damning evidence: printouts of text messages between Bergmann and his son.
These messages detailed their inappropriate relationship, including encounters in the teacher’s classroom during lunch and after school. Bergmann allegedly described enjoying the boy’s touch and admitted to “making out” with him.
Police said they also seized a folder from Bergmann’s bag containing notes about their physical encounters and “kissing”.
Bergmann’s fiancé Sam Hickman was set to marry the teacher in July, reports New York Post. However, the horrific revelations about Bergmann’s actions have shattered their relationship.
A friend of Hickman’s described the devastating impact on him: “Sam is really upset and heartbroken. He’s embarrassed and pissed. He didn’t deserve this. Everyone is pissed.” The wedding has been indefinitely postponed, and it seems unlikely to ever happen.
The couple had been engaged since December, the same month Bergmann is said to have obtained the boy’s phone number from his mother. The family had invited the teacher on a winter holiday to Afton Alps, Minnesota.

Hickman’s mate told the Post: “He says it’s f**ked up that she cheated with a little kid. He’s really, really hurt. Not talking too much about it – just like, ‘This is f**ked up’.
“He’s still in shock. Not only did she cheat on him, but she cheated with a little kid.”
Hudson School District has put Bergmann on administrative leave and told her not to contact any students, parents or staff while her case is dealt with. If sentenced consecutively, she faces up to 185 years in prison.
