Wisconsin elementary school teacher Madison Bergmann, 24, was arrested for "making out" with a fifth-grade student. Soon after she was taken into custody, her fiancé, Sam Hickman, called off the wedding, according to one of his friends. Bergmann and Hickman were set to marry in July, but the revelation of her affair with one of her 11-year-old student has put an end to their relationship, as per reports.
"It's been indefinitely postponed. And it probably won't happen. Sam is really upset and heartbroken. He's embarrassed and pissed. He didn't deserve this. Everyone is pissed," said one of Hickman's friends to the New York Post.
He also added, "It was more like, 'Well, obviously, it's not going to happen this summer.' Pretty much all that there is to say. He's really, really hurt. Not talking too much about it. He's still in shock. Not only did she cheat on him, but she cheated with a little kid." (Also Read: Couple caught 'making love' at NYC park, viral video causes widespread outrage among people)
