A woman in California is accused of soliciting rape on Craigslist against a woman who bought a home she wanted, as revenge. She pleaded not guilty to felony charges in court Friday. Her attorney says she never intended for people to follow through and actually rape the woman, saying it was merely a prank.
Kathy J. Rowe, 52, was voted Mother of the Year in San Diego by the Union Tribune in 2006.
But now, Rowe hides behind her attorney in court and faces up to nine years and eight months in prison if convicted of the charges against her. She faces solicitation for rape, solicitation for sodomy and stalking charges, among other counts.

The prosecutor said Rowe placed an ad on Craigslist, encouraging men to contact the female homeowner for sexual favors while her husband was away.
"People responded to that Craigslist ad, and (evidence) at the preliminary hearing showed there was a string of communications from that initial response enticing men to come to her home, force themselves through the door and onto the victim, and have sex with her while she screamed no," McHugh said. "Our victim was put in a position where she was in fear in her own home, and that's not a position anyone should be in"...
One man with whom Rowe was communicating went to the victim's Carmel Valley home but emailed Rowe when he saw the husband at home, and Rowe continued to impersonate the victim, the prosecution alleges.
