DO I SEE A PATTERN HERE?
Two Fifth-Grade Teachers, Same Wisconsin School: Faust Pleads Guilty”
After Bergmann Already Convicted
Abigail Faust, 25, a former fifth-grade teacher at River Crest Elementary in Hudson, pleaded guilty September 14 to child enticement and second-degree sexual assault of a child. The admitted crimes involve two 15-year-old boys she assaulted while working as a nanny.
School-related charges—kissing a fifth-grader in her classroom and failing to report a colleague’s abuse—were dismissed but will be considered at her December 15 sentencing. She also pleaded guilty in Minnesota in a related case. Faust told the court it was not a lapse in judgment.
Yes, other sexual crimes happened at this school. Madison Bergmann, the other fifth-grade teacher at River Crest, pleaded guilty to child enticement and sexual misconduct by school staff involving an 11-year-old boy in her class.
They exchanged more than 35,000 texts and kissed in the classroom. Bergmann is serving six years in prison. Investigators found the two teachers texted each other about their relationships with students. Both resigned in May 2024.
Same school district: Hudson School District. These two cases at the same elementary school are the documented public record. Parents in any district should demand clear reporting, real supervision, and consequences that match the harm—not delayed statements after the damage is done.
