Teacher Charged With Sexual Assault Has ‘Multiple Victims’
A Wisconsin high school teacher arrested on child sexual assault charges is accused of having “multiple victims,” according to law enforcement.
Nadia M. Horn was arrested after Eau Claire Area School District employees told police on Wednesday, March 25, that there was “a potential inappropriate relationship between a staff member and a student,” the Eau Claire Police Department said in a news release issued that same day.
A resource officer at North High School started to investigate and gathered information of alleged criminal activity involving Horn, 22, who teaches at the high school, according to police.
Horn was a part of the school’s special education staff, WQOW reported.
She is now suspected of preying on multiple minors, according to police.
“Through the course of the investigation, multiple victims have been identified,” police said.
It was not immediately clear whether Horn had retained an attorney who could comment on her behalf as of Friday, March 27.
Horn is facing chargings of sexual assault of a child by a school staff person and second-degree sexual assault of a child, according to police.
“The Eau Claire Police Department is committed to ensuring that the victims receive support and services,” police said.
Additional information on the sexual assault allegations were not provided by law enforcement.
“On Wednesday, March 25, 2026, we learned of alleged inappropriate conduct by a staff member,” Superintendent Mike Johnson said in a statement obtained by WQOW that was sent to families of students attending North High School. “The North High School and District Administration contacted law enforcement immediately upon learning of this allegation. The staff member has been suspended without pay, pending legal resolution.”
“Learning about alleged inappropriate conduct by a staff member is deeply troubling for all of us,” the superintendent also wrote in the statement. “We kindly request that the school community respect the privacy of our students and their families and refrain from spreading rumors or speculation. Our Student Services staff are available to help any child or staff who may be experiencing difficulties with this news.”
Following her arrest, Horn was booked in the Eau Claire County Jail, police said.
The Eau Claire Police Department is asking anyone with information relevant to the ongoing investigation into Horn to call the department’s non-emergency line at (715) 839-4972.
The city of Eau Claire is about a 90-mile drive east from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
