If she is catholic, that is fake and gay. You cannot receive a penance that says you have to tell someone what you did nor can the priest break his seal. The priest would be defrocked, totally not worth the risk.
If she mentioned it to the priest outside the confessional, all bets are off.
That’s the actual strategy priests will take for serious crimes. If you were to confess to being a serial killer or pedophile the priest would probably ask or goad you into talking to him about it later privately, so he could report you to the police.
