Christopher Hopp

A Crystal Lake man who was accused of secretly filming a girl in the bathroom of her home entered a guilty plea in the case Tuesday.

Christopher Hopp, 41, waived his rights to a trial and pleaded guilty to unlawfully possessing 50 to 200 grams of psilocybin, a Class 1 felony, and unauthorized video recording, a Class 4 felony.

Assistant State’s Attorney Maria Marek said all parties agreed that the maximum sentence Hopp will receive is 12 years in prison. Judge Mark Gerhardt accepted Hopp’s plea and set July 31 for his sentencing.

In exchange for the guilty plea, other charges were dropped, including two counts of creating images of child sex abuse, which were a more serious Class X felony. Also dismissed were two counts of possessing images of child sex abuse.
