It is claimed she planned to sexually abuse the man's eight-year-old girl with him. But the girl was fictitious and the man she had been chatting with online turned out to be an FBI agent.
Hoppe had messaged the undercover cop sickening details about what she wanted to do the child, according to court filings.
She was also accused of sending the agent a 30-second video and three still images of young minor girls being horrifically sexually abused by men.
The high society mom pleaded not guilty to the charges. But her bid for pre-trial release from the Correctional Treatment Facility in Washington, DC, was thrown out despite telling the judge she was 'an upstanding citizen', DailyMail.com exclusively reported.
Hoppe, who remains incarcerated, had previously worked in child advocacy and support organizations. She was also a volunteer at her prestigious Episcopal church in Charlottesville, that is affiliated with the University of Virginia.
The accused mom had entered a fetish website where users discuss and trade images of child sex abuse, according to the criminal complaint filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia.
She allegedly used the screenname 'titotori' and started an email chat with another user, who was an undercover FBI Task Force officer based at the Washington DC field office and operating out of a satellite location.
According to the filing, Hoppe told the agent she was a mother and wanted to chat about 'taboo parenting'.
