Madison Bergmann, 24, a faculty member at River Crest Elementary in Hudson, Wisconsin, was taken into custody on Wednesday following the emergence of information about "inappropriate conduct between a current teacher and a 5th grade student," as reported by WCCO-TV.
The information was brought forward by the parents of the 11-year-old student, who unearthed evidence of the inappropriate relationship in the form of text messages exchanged between their son and Bergmann. The messages reportedly contained details about the alleged relationship, including "kissing, touching, and making out," according to KARE-TV.

However, when confronted with the evidence, Bergmann chose to exercise her right to remain silent.
