Overview

• Madison Bergmann, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of child enticement and two counts of sexual misconduct by school staff during a Monday hearing.
• Dismissed counts include first-degree sexual assault of a child, using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, exposing a child to harmful descriptions, and additional misconduct and enticement charges.
• Investigators documented more than 33,000 messages between Bergmann and the 11-year-old, with testimony describing many as sexual in nature.
• Police reported finding a classroom folder bearing the child’s name with handwritten notes after the boy’s parents uncovered messages following an overheard phone call.
• Defense attorney Joseph Tamburino has argued prosecutors overcharged the case, while court records show sentencing is scheduled for December 22, 2025.
