Daily Mail: Charlottesville Judge Seeks Custody of Daughters After Socialite Ex-Wife Is Arrested For Child Porn

You can’t make this up.

This is the wife of the man who sat in judgment of the Unite the Right protesters and who ruled on a lot of the motions in the Sines v. Kessler trial.

Daily Mail:

“A federal judge in Virginia is fighting for full custody of his two young daughters after his high society ex-wife was arrested at a hotel where she allegedly planned to sexually assault an eight-year-old girl, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Eleanor Hunton Hoppe, 45, a member of one of Virginia’s most prominent families, was snared in an FBI sting last month after messaging an undercover agent explicit and sickening details about what she wanted to do to the child, according to court filings. 

The mother-of-two – who has been charged with child porn and child sex abuse offenses – is also accused of sending the agent a 30-second video and three still images of young minor girls being horrifically sexually abused by men.

Her arrest has stunned communities in Charlottesville, where she lives, and in Richmond where she grew up amid wealth and prestige as a member of a legal powerhouse family who helped found the city’s biggest law firm, now known as Hunton, Andrews, Kurth. …”

Daily Progress:

“According to the government’s case against Eleanor Hoppe, a Washington, D.C.-based undercover FBI officer entered a fetish website in late February and conversed on an encrypted app with a woman who allegedly wanted to chat about “taboo parenting.”

According to the prosecution, Eleanor Hoppe allegedly sent a topless photograph of herself to the undercover officer to prove she was “safe” and then sent a video of an adult male penetrating the vagina of an apparent minor with his penis.

She then volunteered to travel to participate in abuse of what she was told was the man’s 8-year-old daughter, according to the prosecution.

“A great think to do is to wake her up by trying new things,” Eleanor Hoppe allegedly told the man. “That hazy/ dreamlike state is perfect to introduce a variety of new things … especially with someone to help with positioning her body and then you let her fall right back to sleep.”

Things reportedly escalated on March 16, the day of the planned rendezvous at a Warrenton motel.

Eleanor Hoppe reportedly sent three more images of adult males violating girls as well as a photograph of a pink silk robe she would bring to the rendezvous along with this alleged message: “Her big girl robe for tonight.”

“I’ll be [there] as soon as I can and I’ll get naked to,” she allegedly texted. …”

Daily Progress:

“The attorneys who won a civil rights action against the organizers of the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville have been awarded $4.9 million in expenses and legal fees.

United States Magistrate Judge Joel C. Hoppe signed documents approving these awards March 7.

New York-based attorneys Roberta Kaplan and Karen Dunn had sought $12.73 million in legal fees plus $1.82 million in expenses, much of which went to a vendor collecting digital information from electronic devices and social media accounts. …”
