Federal prosecutors have offered Charlottesville-area socialite Eleanor Hoppe a plea deal that would put the former judge’s wife behind bars for roughly 11 years.
Hoppe, the 35-year-old ex-wife of federal magistrate Judge Joel Hoppe, has been jailed for a year, accused of transmitting child pornography and plotting to molest a little girl. Eleanor Hoppe was arrested in March of 2023 at a Warrenton motel where, the prosecution alleges, she was prepared to violate a girl with her father’s consent.
Born Eleanor Beaumont Hunton, the defendant is a scion of the family that founded Richmond’s largest law firm, Hunton Andrews Kurth. Educated at St. Catherine’s, a private school for girls in Richmond, Eleanor Hoppe later attended the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
