A Northern California woman has pleaded guilty to wiretapping a police officer and other people and to possessing spyware.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says Monday that in pleading guilty, Kristin Nyunt admitted that from 2010 to 2012 she used spy software she purchased online.
Federal prosecutors say the 40-year-old woman installed the software on cell phones and computers of several people she spied on, including a police officer.
The Monterey resident earlier this year pleaded guilty in state court to burglary, forgery, identity theft, and unlawful computer access charges.
Nyunt is the ex-wife of a former Pacific Grove police commander who in May pleaded guilty to federal charges of extortion and wire fraud.
She is scheduled to be sentenced in February and faces five years in prison.
