Disturbing messages allegedly sent by a 22-year-old special education teacher to a teenage student have emerged as she faces multiple felony charges involving alleged sexual misconduct with minors.
Nadia Horn, who worked at North High School in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, was arrested in March 2026 following an investigation into her interactions with students.
According to police and court documents cited by VT and Law & Crime, investigators uncovered social media communications involving several students, including a 15-year-old boy.
Some of the alleged messages were sent during school hours, while other allegations involved encounters away from the school premises.
What did Nadia Horn allegedly send to the student?
According to the criminal complaint described in the reporting, investigators uncovered TikTok messages allegedly sent by Horn to a 15-year-old student between March 8 and March 24, 2026.
The messages included statements expressing romantic and inappropriate interest in the teenager.
In one message dated March 14, Horn allegedly wrote:
"Ugh my fyp (for you page) so good. [Student's name withheld] I shouldn't want you as bad as I do."
Another alleged message stated:
"Gosh, I hope you know how much I crave you every second."
In a separate message, she allegedly told the student:
"You know how much I'm gonna want you every time I see you now."
Investigators also documented a further message containing an expletive and an inappropriate suggestion, which has been omitted here.
The criminal complaint reportedly included other exchanges in which Horn referred to the student's age group and their shared familiarity with popular films.
The messages are allegations recorded in investigative documents and have not been established as proven facts by a conviction in the reporting provided.
How did police discover the alleged relationship?
The investigation began after school administrators contacted law enforcement about concerns involving Horn's interactions with students.
According to the Eau Claire Police Department, the school district reported a potential inappropriate relationship between a staff member and a student.
On March 20, 2026, concerns were brought to Detective Craig Richter, the school's resource officer.
Administrators reportedly told him that Horn had allegedly purchased a phone for a student, driven students around and encouraged them to connect with her on Snapchat.
At that stage, police had not received allegations of sexual misconduct.
However, approximately five days later, a student disclosed allegations that prompted a wider investigation.
What did the students tell investigators?
According to reporting from Law & Crime, one student told investigators that Horn had begun sending increasingly inappropriate messages and photographs.
The student described some of the images as revealing and alleged that the teacher had made comments expressing inappropriate attraction.
He also claimed that Horn invited him to her apartment, where sexual encounters allegedly took place.
During one reported incident, the student said he felt trapped when Horn rested her head on his lap while they were watching television.
Investigators subsequently interviewed another student who made similar allegations about encounters at the teacher's apartment.
These accounts remain allegations described in the criminal investigation.
Police identified a third student
The investigation also involved a third student, a 15-year-old freshman at North High School.
According to the complaint, the teenager knew Horn through her role as an assistant basketball coach.
He reportedly connected with her on Snapchat to discuss basketball.
Police allege that the communications subsequently became inappropriate.
Investigators reviewed TikTok messages reportedly exchanged between March 8 and March 24, including the statements described earlier in the article.
They also identified evidence that images and videos had been exchanged, although the reporting did not establish the full contents of those materials.
Some of the alleged communications reportedly occurred during school hours.
What charges does Nadia Horn face?
Horn was initially charged with several serious offences following her arrest in March.
According to the reporting, these included:
The case expanded in July when prosecutors reportedly filed additional charges.
Those included repeated sexual assault of a child, further child enticement allegations and use of a computer to facilitate a child sex crime.
Earlier reporting indicated that Horn could face a lengthy prison sentence if convicted, although any eventual punishment would depend on the charges established in court and applicable sentencing laws.
The supplied reporting does not establish that Horn has been convicted.
What did the school district say?
Following Horn's arrest, Eau Claire Area School District Superintendent Mike Johnson sent a letter to families addressing the allegations.
He confirmed that Horn had been suspended without pay while the legal process continued.
Johnson described the allegations involving a staff member as deeply troubling and urged members of the school community not to spread rumours or speculation.
He also asked families to respect the privacy of students affected by the investigation.
The district said student support services were available for children and staff who needed assistance following the news.
Johnson emphasised that maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment remained the district's priority.
What happens next in the case?
The allegations against Horn involve multiple students and a series of communications that investigators say they recovered during the investigation.
The case includes both the students' accounts and electronic evidence described in criminal complaints.
However, the claims must be assessed through the legal process, and Horn is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
The reporting provided does not confirm a final trial outcome or conviction.
The identities of the students involved have been withheld to protect their privacy.
