Updated April 18, 2012 13:17:25

A Melbourne woman has pleaded guilty to robbing Olympic basketball team member, Rachel Jarry, and three other people in January.

Rachel Jarry was walking to her car with a friend when they were approached by five young people who demanded the pair hand over their belongings.

Jessica Croucher, 18, pleaded guilty to the robbery.

Croucher also pleaded guilty to two other charges of robbery and two of assault, in relation to offences against other people on the same night.

The charges of assault against Jarry and her friend were dropped.

Croucher has been released on bail and will face the Victorian County Court again in July.
