Surprising Update On Teacher Accused Of 'Making Out' With 5th Grader

The fiancé of Madison Bergmann , the Wisconsin elementary school teacher accused of "making out" with a fifth-grade student , reportedly still speaks to her even after her arrest, friends with knowledge of the situation told the New York Post .

“They still talk, as far as I know,” said a source who was invited to the couple’s now-canceled July 27 wedding. “But obviously, everything has changed. He was betrayed in a really big way, but he was madly in love, and you can’t just turn that off.”

Bergmann is reportedly hiding on her grandparents' farm away from former friends, which includes her would-be bridal party.

“She seems embarrassed to face us,” the friend tells The Post. “She’s ghosted everyone, which is kind of to be expected.”

Bergmann was arrested in May on one count of first-degree sexual assault and was released on a $25,000 signature bond, according to charging documents obtained by CBS News . The parents of the 11-year-old boy overheard the child having a phone conversation with Bergmann earlier in the week, at which point they found texts between two in which she allegedly discussed multiple encounters inside the classroom, during lunch or after school, as well as how much she enjoyed him touching her and "making out," documents stated.

The child told investigators that he communicated with Bergmann "almost daily" and got her phone number when they went skiing with his mother at Afton Alps during winter break, which Bergmann also confirmed, though claiming it was in case they got separated at the park. An officer reportedly found a folder with the child's name on it containing handwritten notes inside Bergmann's backpack.

The teacher and the child were reported to have shared the notes throughout the day, which included letters detailing incidents in which they kissed each other, according to court documents.

"One of my cousins is in the 5th grade and I can't imagine a man talking to her how we talk," Bergmann allegedly wrote in a note shared to the child. "I know we have a special relationship and I do love you more than anyone in the world but I have to be the adult here and stop."

Bergmann became engaged to her longtime boyfriend in December, the same month that she and the boy claimed to have exchanged phone numbers, and scheduled her wedding for July, the New York Post reports, citing her social media accounts.
