SAN DIEGO - A San Diego woman distraught over losing out on her family's dream house had a perverse revenge scheme intending to have the home's new owner raped, prosecutors said.
The defendant, 52-year-old Kathy Rowe, claims the scheme was a childish prank that got out of control and she intended no harm.
Rowe began by carrying out mild hoaxes on the young husband-and-wife homebuyers, such as putting a stop on their mail and sending religious missionaries to their doorstep, U-T San Diego reported Tuesday.
Her actions soon became criminal, according to prosecutors. Rowe allegedly posed as the wife in online adult entertainment ads titled "Carmel Valley Freak Show," inviting strange men over to the couple's home for sex and describing scenarios of a rape fantasy to those who responded. The wife's photo and address were included in the postings.
"I love to be surprised and have a man just show up at my door and force his way in the door and on me, totally taking me while I say no," Rowe wrote to one man who responded, according to the newspaper.

I've been involved in a lot of pranks, and none of them ever involved trying to have someone raped.
Some people either have no souls or at least do their best to pretend that they don't.
