Shocking details have emerged in a criminal complaint filed in Wisconsin, revealing disturbing text messages allegedly exchanged between a couple accused of plotting to sexually abuse the woman’s infant daughter.
Skyler Klassen, 22, was arrested on April 9th after Madison police reportedly discovered child sexual abuse material on his phone.
According to the complaint, authorities found images of the 2-month-old baby’s exposed genitals and a video depicting the infant being digitally penetrated. Klassen allegedly admitted to the abuse, which investigators believe occurred on April 7th.

However, the allegations took an even darker turn with the discovery of text messages on Klassen’s phone, reportedly dating back to January. These messages allegedly indicate that Klassen and the baby’s mother, Madison Bishop, 21, were planning to sexually assault the child even before she was born. Bishop was subsequently arrested on April 15th.
The complaint details how the text messages allegedly show Bishop actively encouraging Klassen to sexually abuse her daughter. The couple reportedly engaged in graphic discussions of sexual fantasies involving the infant and shared child sexual abuse material from other sources.

Bishop has been charged with one count of first-degree child sexual assault and one count of failure to protect a child, as per the criminal complaint.
Klassen faces a more extensive list of charges, including one count of first-degree sexual assault, one count of incest, four counts of sexual exploitation of a child, and four counts of possession of child sex abuse material. The complaint did not specify Klassen’s relationship to the child.
It remains unclear whether Klassen and Bishop have entered pleas to the charges.
