Teacher Who Texted Boy, 11, About 'Making Out' Is Sentenced — and Breaks Down in Tears By Liam Quinn

A Wisconsin elementary school teacher who engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a student broke down in tears after being sentenced to six years in prison on Friday, Dec. 19.

Madison Bergmann was sentenced to six years of confinement, to be followed by six years of supervision, after pleading guilty to one count of child enticement and two counts of sexual misconduct, according to KARE 11, WQOW and WEAU.

Bergmann, 26, frequently texted an 11-year-old student, PEOPLE previously reported.

Authorities previously said in a criminal complaint that Bergmann sent texts saying how much she enjoyed “making out” with him and that she liked when he touched her, KARE 11 reported.

The outlet further reported that subsequent searches revealed 100 handwritten notes and artwork, in addition to thousands of texts.

“Dude I love you so much more — like I didn’t think it was possible — but oh my god today during reading….” she wrote in one of the texts, according to WEAU.

KARE reported that Bergmann ultimately pleaded guilty in order to receive a reduced sentence. The outlet reported that she had asked the judge to only sentence her to a year behind bars, whereas prosecutors requested 12 years.

In a video of the proceedings aired by KARE, Bergmann apologized for her conduct.

“I want to make it absolutely clear that I take full accountability for every boundary that was crossed,” Bergmann said through tears.

The victim’s father also spoke at the sentencing hearing, calling the texts “disturbing stuff.”
