Overview
- Nadia M. Horn, 22, who was arrested Wednesday, is in the Eau Claire County Jail on counts of sexual assault of a child by a school staff person and second-degree sexual assault of a child and is awaiting her first court appearance.
- The case began when a school resource officer at North High reported a possible staff–student relationship to police, triggering interviews and Horn’s arrest the same day.
- Police say they have identified multiple victims, believed to be minors, and they describe the case as active with the possibility of additional charges while asking parents to speak with their children and share any information.
- The Eau Claire Area School District suspended Horn without pay, is cooperating with investigators, and has made counselors available for students and families while urging respect for privacy.
- ECPD Lt. Mark Pieper said investigators do not believe other school staff were involved at this time, and local outlets focused on process and safeguards while some national tabloids highlighted Horn’s mugshot.
