RICHMOND, VIRGINIA: Federal Judge Joel Hoppe’s socialite ex-wife, Eleanor Hunton Hoppe had asked a court to delay further her scheduled hearing for 45 days after she was offered a plea deal.
The new revelation according to legal filing suggests that Eleanor is considering a plea deal.
What happens if Eleanor Hunton Hoppe is found guilty?
If found guilty by the trial court, Eleanor will serve life imprisonment for the distribution of child pornography, coercion, and enticement of a minor, and attempted transportation of a minor with intent to engage in sexual activity.
She may face jail if she goes to trial and is convicted of distribution of child pornography, coercion, and enticement of a minor, and attempted transportation of a minor with intent to engage in sexual activity.
Eleanor's new public defender attorney Ubong Akpan has filed a motion to the US District Court for the District of Columbia requesting a delay.
“The government provided a plea offer in this case which the defense needs additional time to review. The government does not oppose this motion,” Ubong said in a statement.
The document obtained by DailyMail said, “The parties agree that the interests and ends of justice are best served and outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial and that this adjournment will allow the defense adequate time to prepare.”

As per legal documents, a Washington, DC-based undercover FBI officer entered a fetish website in late February and spoke to Hoppe on an encrypted app after she allegedly wanted to chat about “taboo parenting,” reports DailyProgress.
The prosecution claimed that Hoppe allegedly sent a topless photo of herself to the undercover agent to prove she was “safe” before sending him videos of child pornography.
The prosecution also presented the messages as evidence.
Hoppe allegedly asked for details about how the agent was supposedly abusing his fictitious daughter.
Hoppe then agreed to travel to Washington to participate in the abuse of the agent’s fictitious 8-year-old daughter and agreed to meet him at a hotel on March 12, according to the Officials.
“I can’t wait and then of course, putting her to bed and waking her up to do a few extra things will be so fun,” she allegedly wrote in a message, reports MEAWW.
“A great thing to do is to wake her up by trying new things. That hazy/ dreamlike state is perfect for introducing a variety of new things… especially with someone to help with positioning her body and then you let her fall right back to sleep,” another text from Hoppe read, as per the news outlet.
