A female teacher arrested over allegations she made with an 11-year-old Wisconsin student has been dumped by her fiancé.
Madison Bergmann, 24, faces one count of first-degree child sexual abuse after a parent of a fifth-grader reported her to River Crest Elementary School administrators and police.
The teacher was due to marry her partner Sam Hickman in July but the plans have been scrapped due to what Hickman has described as ‘f***** up behaviour’ from his fiancée.
“It has been postponed indefinitely,” a friend of the couple told the newspaper New York Post.
“And that probably won’t happen. Sam is very upset and heartbroken. He’s embarrassed and p****d. He didn’t deserve this. Everyone is pissed,” he added.

During her interview, she told authorities that the victim’s mother allegedly gave her the student’s phone number after the family invited her to Afton Alps, a ski resort, over winter break.
The St. Paul couple’s wedding website on The Knot has also been removed.
“It was more like, ‘Well, it’s obviously not going to happen this summer. Pretty much everything there is to say.
“He says it’s stupid that she cheated on her with a little kid,” the friend told The Post.
‘He’s really, really hurt. Not talking about it too much, just like “this is f*****d up”. He’s still in shock.
“She not only cheated on him, but also with a small child.”
According to her Facebook, Bergmann got engaged to Hickman in December and their wedding was scheduled for July 27.
The alleged assault came to light after the boy’s parents reportedly found text messages between Bergmann and their son.
On Wednesday, the child’s father provided printed text messages in which she allegedly told the child that she liked it when the victim touched her and that she enjoyed “making out” with him.

The child’s mother initially heard the student and Bergmann talking on the phone before notifying the child’s father, according to KARE 11.
During her interview with police, she told authorities that the victim’s mother allegedly gave her the student’s phone number after the family invited her to the Afton Alps ski resort for winter break.
When officers searched Bergmann’s bag, they found handwritten notes between the pair, according to charging documents. It is unclear what the notes said.
When asked about the text exchange between her and the student, Bergmann invoked her right to an attorney, the documents say.
After her arrest, she was suspended from her role as a teacher. During her suspension, Bergmann is not allowed to have contact with Hudson School District students, parents or staff.
She is also not allowed on district property and cannot attend school activities.
“Learning of a school employee’s alleged inappropriate behavior that breaches trust is deeply troubling for all of us,” the school said in a statement.

‘We understand the seriousness of this situation and are committed to providing the necessary support to any child who may be affected.
“We kindly ask that the school community respect the privacy of Hudson students and their families and refrain from spreading rumors or speculation.”
Bergmann was released on a $25,000 bond and will appear in court on May 30.
