A mental health counselor in South Jersey admitted to seeking a hitman to attack her ex-boyfriend, but a federal agent stepped in before any violence was carried out, prosecutors say.

Social worker Diane Sylvia, 60, of Somers Point, pleaded guilty Tuesday to soliciting a violent crime with the intent of serious harm to her ex, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey.

Authorities said Sylvia, who had a mental health practice in Linwood, tried to enlist one of her clients in connecting her with a hitman.
