A former "Mother of the Year" recipient pleaded guilty to felony stalking in a downtown courtroom Monday.
The crime carries a punishment of up to three years in prison.
Kathy Rowe, 53, was also charged with one count of felony solicitation for rape, one count of felony solicitation for sodomy and misdemeanor charges of identity theft and making annoying or threatening communication after she posted an online advertisement inviting men to a victim's home to rape her, according to the prosecution.
Deputy District Attorney Brendan McHugh said those chargers were dismissed with Rowe's plea.
A felony complaint filed against Rowe earlier this year explained how her anger and jealousy over the sale of a home she wanted to buy in the Carmel Valley area prompted her outrageous behavior.

In addition to the online ad, Rowe allegedly put a stop on the victim's mail, had unusual magazines and mailers sent to the home and sent Valentine's Day cards to female neighbors in the victim's husband's name.

Rowe - a former county employee - told detectives that she posted the ad as a "prank" and did not intend to harm the victim, defense attorney Brad Patton said.
Prosecutors argued because two men who answered the ad actually showed up to the victim's home, Rowe crossed a line.
Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 9.
Rowe was named one of "San Diego's 50 Best Moms" in 2006 in a contest sponsored by Time Warner Cable, according to the UT San Diego.
