A Wisconsin teacher who was charged in May after being accused by authorities of kissing one of her fifth grade students is now facing a slew of new charges, according to online court records.
On May 1, Madison Bergmann, 24, of St. Paul, was arrested and charged May 2 with one count of first-degree child sexual assault with a child under age 13, online court records show.
