Miss Delaware Teen USA Melissa King relinquishes crown after porn video scandal

Melissa King, the winner of Miss Delaware Teen USA, has relinquished her crown after reports surfaced she starred in a porn film, according to a Feb. 26, 2013 TMZ report.

The video, reportedly shot in June 2012 just months after King turned 18, shows a young female sitting on a bed talking about her birthday and discussing her favorite sex positions—all before actual sex in the movie take place, reports the website.

King won the pageant crown in Nov. 2012, only months after the film was shot.

WetPaint report that although King denies being in the adult movie, on Feb. 23 she posted a Twitter message that read, “Once you move on in life people shouldn’t try to use your past against you… Let them be happy.”

A representative for the Miss Delaware Teen USA pageant told TMZ first runner-up Hailey Lawler has been contacted to take over King’s duties.
