As per court docs posted today ...

1. On August 11, 2023, the government formally extended a plea offer to one count
of Coercion and Enticement, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). To date, the government has not received a response regarding the plea from the defendant. On October 23, 2023, the government informed counsel for the defendant that the plea offer would expire on the date of the next status hearing (then set for December 12, 2023, now December 14, 2023).

2. On December 9, 2023, the defendant filed a motion for release from pre-trial
detention, alleging that the D.C. Department of Corrections (DOC) is not providing her with her required medications on a daily basis. The defendant argues that she is not “particularly
dangerous” and requests release into the custody of her aunt.

3. In order to respond to the defendant’s claim, the government needs information
from DOC regarding its provision of medication to the defendant. However, undersigned counsel has been informed by the General Counsel of DOC that DOC requires a court order for this information.

4. The government therefore seeks an Order from the Court directing DOC to
provide undersigned counsel with information regarding the course of the defendant’s
medication regimen while she has been in the custody of DOC, so that the government may
respond to the defendant’s motion. The government will share this information with counsel for the defendant.

The audacity to fight the allegations. Her family should be ashamed for any assistance given to her.

She wants to be released before trial to her aunts house because she claims the jail won’t give her needed medical attention.

She’s probably taking Ozempic

She tried to get released, pending trial, claiming jail doesn't give her meds regularly. Court ordered that info re: how jail is dispensing meds, to be made available to both sides. Next hearing in January.

HTH, if not let me know what else is confusing.

Did the plea deal expire, or is it extended in light of the medical information request?

She's down to one count of of Coercion and Enticement, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). What's the proposed sentencing on that?

10 year minimum sentence under the plea deal. And must serve 85% of sentence, even when qualifying for "good behavior." So she's looking at least 8.5 years in prison.

Honestly, that seems like a pretty great deal. That she’s trying to get out pretrial suggests she is too delusional to accept the plea, which is unfortunate.

Including time served I'm assuming (will be almost 1 year by trial/sentencing in January/February 2024).

I think Hoppe will be sentenced to more than ten years. The ten-year sentence is reserved for someone who is sexually attracted to unrelated minors and desperately wants to get laid.

Hoppe wanted to assist a father in having sex with his daughter and was scripting the acts to be performed and supplied props and wardrobe. Hoppe also lied to the FBI about her motive for meeting up with the father.

I think Hoppe will receive a sentence of 15 to 20 years in prison.
