Melissa King, 18, won the Miss Delaware Teen USA title in November 2012 and was the reigning Miss Teen Delaware International 2012. She gave up her pageant crown on Feb. 26, 2013 after being accused of appearing in an online sex video. King said she was aware of the video but denied appearing in it. The former pageant queen was also accused of theft and underage possession of alcohol, and is scheduled to appear in a Maryland court and respond to these charges on April 22, 2013.
