NEW YORK (AP) - A woman accused of being a prostitution ring booker has pleaded guilty in the federal probe that brought down former NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

Temeka Rachelle Lewis, 32, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Manhattan
federal court to promoting prostitution and money laundering.

She is among four defendants in the case involving the Emperor's Club VIP call girl ring.

Court papers say the FBI secretly recorded conversations between
Lewis and Spitzer about a Feb. 13 tryst with a prostitute in Washington.

Spitzer, who's identified in the court papers as Client No. 9, announced his resignation on March 12.
