A March 24 preliminary hearing was set yesterday for a Virginia State Police captain charged with forcibly sodomizing a juvenile girl more than five years ago.
Capt. Edward L. Hope Jr., 52, made a brief video appearance yesterday in Chesterfield County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court via closed-circuit television from the county jail. Defense Attorney Michael HuYoung told the court he had been retained by Hope's family to represent him.
HuYoung did not seek to have Hope released on bond, so he remained incarcerated last night. Hope, a 30-year state police veteran, was arrested at department headquarters Monday. He is accused of sodomizing a girl younger than 13 between September 2002 and September 2003.
Hope has been placed on administrative leave without pay pending the outcome of the case. Until his arrest, he was commander of the department's Information Technology Division.
