She’s looking at spending a long time in prison. If I were her, I’d want the best attorney money could buy. I’m shocked her family hasn’t hired some well connected, well skilled criminal defense attorney.

This may very well be intentional.

Her father PERSONALLY got her 2019 sex crime conviction thrown out on appeal.

A high priced lawyer will take over closer to the hearing date, mark my words.

Entirely possible. But 2019 was four years ago. I can see the point of view of the family if they have done everything they feel they can to help her and aren't going to do any more. From the little I have read/seen she is either suffering from a horrific mental illness or she is an evil person. They may think prison isn't a bad place for her to be at this point.

Uh, no. The father who got her off in 2019 offered to be her pretrial custodian! They are narcs who may well have abused or enabled abuse of her as a kid, so she thinks it's "normal." 2019 was a missed opportunity. Could have been compelled to get treatment by the court.

I’m not sure you know what a narc is.

NARCISSISTS, dumbass. The kind like the HUNTONS who care more about family reputation than her getting compelled treatment. NARCISSISTS or narcs in COMMON PARLANCE have a higher rate of incest and child sexual abuse because they do not feel rules apply to them. See also, elite deviance.

Some people, so hell bent on showing others how dumb they are try to make threads about horrific abuse of kids all about how smart they are. Like a narcissist would. Oh, wait...

If I click that link my phone tells me it’s blocked…can you summarize what it says?

That quote was the only thing that I spotted as new. Someone else may have seen other new details but I did not.

I see. So it doesn’t say what EHH actually said/did to try to “smear her family”?

From the article

"Records show that Eleanor also tried to smear her family in an unsuccessful attempt to secure her pretrial release from the District of Columbia Detention Center.

She was charged with distribution of child pornography, seduction of a minor and attempted transportation of a minor with an attempt to engage in sexual acts.

Eleanor has pleaded not guilty and faces at least 15 years in prison if convicted."

The family clearly sees her as a liability and likely want her in jail which is where she belongs.

Thanks. But that doesn’t say what she actually did or said. To me “smear the family” implies that she accused her family members of something. The quote you posted above doesn’t give any details about how she tried to “smear” her family.

I know. I didn't claim to know what she actually said. I simply gave the article and quote.

I am glad her family was not given the opportunity to use their wealth to bail her out.

I do wish that the ex-husband's custody docs and the divorce docs had been filed under seal. I know it is possible in DC, not sure about VA.

The documents are here.

I don't see any reference to her family besides trying to use their name and to use their home for house arrest. If anyone sees something else pls. share.

These are source documents filed in federal court.

^ to clarify, I wish all of the above was under seal for her kids' sake. And I wish the Facebook had been taken down long ago. It was referenced in the divorce docs per Daily Mail so her husband was aware she had one. I hope they are relocated and names are changed. I also hope they are kept safe and given any help possible to heal, I wish the same for all with trauma and mentally ill parents.

I agree that the above documents are accurate. Could there also be further documents that are not publicly available?

Most disturbing to me were the images that she sent to the under cover officer of the pre pubescent girl given that her own daughter is 12.

Exactly. Her own kids are the ages of the kids she was distributing images/videos of…terrible. It’s all terrible.

Kudos to you, OP, for breaking this story and kudos to everyone who alerted the media to it. This can't be a coincidence.

I just read the Daily Mail article. How did the father not get full custody from the outset? He clearly knew his wife was crazy.

[Anonymous]

Eleanor had access to some pretty high powered legal help herself and with the 2019 conviction thrown out just looked like adultery, not child predator. So 50/50.

When she raised offering kids/images to FBI, it's unclear how much access she had but could have been 50%. The PR type poster who keeps saying the family is happy she is locked up, 2019 and now offering to be 3rd party custodian, to the contrary, also said did not see kids much. Since 1st part is untrue, not sure about second part.

Part of her community service for the 2019 park sex was at a church, including activities that involved kids. She has been around kids a LOT, her own and others. Her numerous "tips and ideas" speak to this likely not being a first time.

She's said to be bipolar, she seems to be a sex and porn addict and have several paraphelias too. Beyond horrifying. So glad she was caught.

My guess is that her father helped her with his legal connections. In Virginia it’s standard 50/50 custody and it’s very difficult to get anything more unless you can prove extreme circumstances or if one parent agrees to have less. Sounds like Eleanor would not agree to less, also sounds like Joel did try to prove extreme circumstances but it wasn’t enough to convince the judge as they still split custody. Hence since her father has been involved several times in Eleanor’s legal issues, only makes sense he’s be involved here as well to help Eleanor against Joel.

I also notice the article stating that when she was trying to get her 2019 unlawful dressing conviction appealed, her father represented her and used a Hunton email address, which is strange because her father doesn’t work at Hunton and never did. In the past he claimed the firm had a nepotism clause so he wasn’t allowed to work there so he started his own practice. So how did he get a Hunton email address and why would he use it in this case rather than his regular business email? Why would be basically fake working at Hunton?

I also noticed that she had to do community service and where she did it. That church is pretty posh in Richmond and has a preschool, it’s across the street from St. Catherine’s and where her parents used to live. Her parents had to have pulled the strings to get her to do community service there.

The masses have now found her Facebook page and are commenting on what a vile person she is. Years ago, some random old guy (apparently a friend of Eleanor’s) commented “nice!” on a photo of her children and people are eating him up for it, lol.

I actually saw that and found that behavior pretty despicable. Accusing this guy of also being a child abuser because he commented “ nice” on a picture of the children. What did these people gain from making those comments? As someone on the post pointed out, her children may see her Facebook page one day. yes I believe she should be locked up and worse, but there’s no reason to attack random people on her page. How many people in our own family and family group have posted comments about our kids that could be looked at with suspicious eyes if we were in the same situation?
