Ex-Victim Advocate Offered Plea Deal After Plotting to Sexually Abuse 8-Year-Old Girl at Hotel – Crime Online

A Virginia woman who was arrested in March — after she was allegedly caught planning to sexually abuse a child — is reportedly considering accepting a plea deal.

The Daily Progress reported that a hearing scheduled for last week was delayed after defense attorneys made a federal filing in response to the plea deal offered to Eleanor Hoppe, 45. The stipulations of the plea deal were disclosed.

Hoppe was charged federally with distributing child pornography, coercion and enticement of a minor, and attempted transportation of a minor with intent to engage in sexual activity.

In February,  Hoppe allegedly met an undercover FBI officer on a fetish website and corresponded about “taboo parenting.” Prosecutors said Hoppe then sent the agent a topless photo of herself and a video of a man apparently raping a minor

At some point, Hoppe allegedly agreed to travel to sexually abuse what she believed was the man’s 8-year-old daughter. The pair were to meet at a hotel in Warrenton and carry out the abuse. The Daily Progress reported that she also sent a picture of a pink robe with the caption, “Her big girl robe for tonight.”

Hoppe, who was arrested at the hotel on March 16, reportedly claimed she was there to prevent the abuse. However, she said she did not alert law enforcement — and a search of her vehicle allegedly turned up sexual lubricant.

Hoppe reportedly has two children. Her LinkedIn profile indicated that for two years she worked as a victim-witness advocate for the Office of the Commonwealth Attorney, where she “offered resources and referrals to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and violent crimes.”

The Daily Mail reported that Hoppe’s ex-husband — Magistrate Judge Joel Hoppe — sought sole custody of their two daughters following her arrest in March. Judge Hoppe filed for divorce in May 2020, accusing his then-wife of bringing a sexual partner to their home while their children were there.

Hoppe remains jailed. A status hearing is scheduled for December 12.
