An Aurora middle school teacher has been charged with sexually assaulting a former student who is underage, DuPage County authorities said Saturday.
Jessica Bergmann, 34, of the 600 block of South Pierce Avenue in Wheaton, faces charges of criminal sexual assault – position of authority, and two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse – position of authority.
A judge denied prosecutors’ request to detain Bergman pretrial and released her Saturday under conditions that included no contact with the victim or anyone under age 18.
Wheaton police began investigating the case in October after hearing from neighbors concerned about frequent visits from a younger man to Bergmann’s house, according to court documents filed by DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin.
Bergmann, who teaches math at Washington Middle School in Aurora, met the boy when he was a student. She also coached a school soccer team to which he belonged, prosecutors said.
