Abigail Faust, Hudson, Wisconsin 5th grade elementary teacher accused of kissing student in class now alleged to have sexual relationship with second boy she babysat for years

A former Wisconsin teacher who was charged with allegedly kissing one of her children is now suspected of assaulting a second victim, whom she spent years babysitting, according to authorities.

Abigail Michelle Faust, 24, allegedly began preying on her 16-year-old male victim late last year, shortly before the child turned 15 – the inappropriate relationship coinciding with her alleged assault of another pupil at River Crest Elementary School, prosecutors said.

The youngster informed deputies that Faust had been his nanny since 2021.

According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the teen she babysat thought they were in an exclusive relationship and talked about having children someday.

According to the investigation, Faust, a fifth-grade teacher at River Crest Elementary School, claimed to knowing the connection was 'wrong' and feeling 'grossed out' by the abuse.

She even declared her love for the teenager in her care after being jailed for kissing a fifth-grade student, according to prosecutors.

The teen victim’s parents — who had employed Faust to look after their son — contacted the family of her other alleged victim before they came forward according to KARE 11.

Faust was charged in early August with failure to protect a child, causing mental harm to a child, child enticement, and sexual misconduct by school staff or volunteer after she allegedly kissed a student.

The allegation that Faust had failed to report the alleged child abuse sparked her resignation from the school, which came months before her own arrest.

Abuse of position of trust, authority and power

Faust in one alleged episode kept the boy after class one day, pushed him against the wall and kissed his cheek, according to court documents.

The victim suffered emotional trauma from the inappropriate relationship, becoming withdrawn and experiencing extreme outbursts.

‘When asked about how [the victim] feels about Ms. Faust, he stated that he never wants to see her again,’ authorities said in court papers.

Prosecutors allege Faust knew about claims of fellow fellow fifth-grade teacher, Madison Bergmann who was also involved with a student at the school, while failing to report it to authorities.

Faust is currently in custody on a $200,000 cash bond at the St Croix County Jail. Both of her trials are scheduled to begin in October.

Bergmann is awaiting trial on charges of first-degree sexual assault with a child under age 13, use of a computer to commit a child sex crime, exposing a child to harmful descriptions, two counts of child enticement and five counts of sexual conduct by a school staff member.

Bergmann has pleaded not guilty.
