Former Hudson Elementary Teacher Sentenced to 6 Years in Prison for Sex Crimes Against Child

The punishment follows a plea to three charges that resolved the Hudson case.

Overview

  • A judge ordered six years of confinement followed by six years of extended supervision, with the sentences on all three counts to run concurrently.
  • Madison Bergmann pleaded guilty in September to one count of child enticement and two counts of sexual misconduct by school staff, with other charges dismissed under a plea agreement, according to court records and reports.
  • Prosecutors sought a 12-year prison term while the defense asked for one year before the court imposed six.
  • Charging documents detail near-daily contact with the 11-year-old, thousands of text messages, and kisses, and investigators reported recovering numerous handwritten notes and artwork.
  • Post-release conditions include sex-offender registration, limits on internet and social media use, and no contact with minors without approval, and a former coworker, Abigail Faust, faces separate charges related to inappropriate relationships with children.
