WASHINGTON: A 24-year-old teacher was arrested for sexually abusing a Class 5 student. The arrested person has been identified as Madison Bergmann. The incident took place in Wisconsin, USA. The teacher was arrested on the complaint lodged by the boy's parents.
The incident came to light when the child's mother overheard the child talking to the teacher over the phone. Following this, the mother examined the child's phone and found several inappropriate messages sent by the teacher. She then went to the school with the screenshots of these messages and filed a complaint.
The chats showed that the teacher sexually abused the 11-year-old boy on several occasions during lunch break and after school. The boy has also admitted this to the investigating officers.
The boy told the police that the teacher had kissed him several times in the class. Madison Bergmann, who was produced in court, has been granted bail in a signature bond of $25,000. She has to appear in court on May 30 for further trial.
Meanwhile, Madison Bergmann has been barred from entering the school premises.
