Her prominent family Must be paying a lot of money to bury this story. I can’t find any updates on the legal case … |

Her family isn’t as prominent as implied online. Her ancestors started a big law firm in Richmond generations ago that her immediate family doesn’t have any part of. |

Upon arrival at the hotel, HOPPE was placed under arrest. HOPPE waived her Miranda
rights and agreed to an interview with law enforcement. HOPPE stated that she traveled to the hotel in order to help the UC’s child. HOPPE admitted that she had not alerted the police nor any law enforcement authorities regarding her communications with the UC, his location, or the fact that he was sexually abusing his daughter. HOPPE admitted to distributing the images of child sexual abuse material to the UC and stated that she did so to keep the UC talking. During an inventory search of HOPPE’s car, law enforcement found a pink children’s bag that contained lubricant, silk undergarments, and a pink silk robe. |

Hoppe is looking a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years, if convicted of all three charges.
18 U.S.C. § 2252(a)(2) - Distribution of Child Pornography, 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b) - Coercion and Enticement of a Minor, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2423(a) and (e) - Attempted Transportation of a Minor with Intent to engage in Sexual Activity. |

| In a town I used to live in, a friend of friends (I had not met her yet, or would I have? Who knows?) abused teen boy(s?). A friend of her son came forward. She’s in prison and got more for evidence tampering. |

I think the trial date was set. She has also switched to being represented by public defender. (This is the right choice in DC. DC's public defenders are considered among the best.) |

Hoppe has no defense. There is no victim to cross-examine. There are statements Hoppe made online to the under cover FBI agent. There are confessions made by Hoppe to the FBI agent after arrest. There are the items found in the trunk of her car. There are false exculpatory statements made by Hoppe to the FBI after arrest. There are contraband images transmitted by Hoppe to the under cover FBI agent. |

It has been covered by plenty of papers and a VA paper covered it today. Link upthread. Why so many repetitive junk posts on this thread? |
