THE DIRTY SOCIETY

A 24-year-old US teacher, Madison Bergmann, has been charged with sexual assault for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with a fifth-grade student. The incident occurred less than three months before Bergmann's wedding. The boy's mother overheard Bergmann talking to him on the phone and took the device away. The boy's parents found texts between Bergmann and the student, which included messages discussing encounters and Bergmann's enjoyment of him touching her. Bergmann was engaged to her boyfriend and had a handwritten note with the boy's name in her backpack. She was released on a $25,000 signature bond and placed on administrative leave. The school principal expressed shock and expressed concern for the River Crest School community and the children affected.

A Slidell High School teacher, Alexa Wingerter, was arrested following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with male students.

Damian Joseph Conti, 35, was arrested in Lake Worth after confessing to having a relationship with a 16-year-old girl.

Conti was suspended from work and SouthTech is cooperating with law enforcement. His name is not listed under the staff directory on the SouthTech website.

Klein, Texas high school teacher Kedria Grigsby has been arrested on charges of child trafficking and compelling prostitution of minors. Grigsby allegedly victimized three students by recruiting troubled minors who had run away by offering them hotels to stay at. She also helped her son, Roger Magee, who was arrested in 2022 for similar charges. The district placed Grigsby on administrative leave after learning of the allegations. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott suggested Grigsby's crimes serve as evidence of the need for school vouchers, which allow families to use public school funds for alternative education paths.

A Mercer County high school teacher, Jessica Sawicki, has been charged with sexual assault and endangering a child's welfare.
