A 25-year-old elementary school teacher faces more than a decade behind bars after she pleaded guilty to having illicit sexual contact with one of her students.

Madison Bergmann, formerly a fifth grade teacher at River Crest Elementary School in Hudson, Wisconsin , pleaded guilty on Monday to child enticement with sexual contact and sexual misconduct by school staff, court records say. She could be sent to prison for up to 12 years when she is sentenced on Dec. 22.

As part of the deal, the most serious charge of first-degree child sexual assault was dismissed.

Bergmann cried for much of the hearing and as she was led away in handcuffs. She's currently being held in the St. Croix County Jail without bond.
