Miss Delaware Teen USA relinquished her crown Tuesday amid speculation that she starred in a porn video that surfaced online the day before.

Melissa King, 18, is aware of the video but said she is “absolutely not” the woman in it.

“I would like to confirm to you that the Miss Delaware Teen USA pageant has received a resignation letter from Miss King’s attorney,” pageant spokeswoman Dara Busch confirmed to The News Journal of Delaware.

The video in question runs slightly over five minutes and features a woman, who resembles and sounds like King, performing various sexual acts with an unidentified man, whose face is not seen, according to the Wilmington, Delaware-based newspaper.

The News Journal further explained that the man interviewed the woman before the erotic encounter, asking if she has a boyfriend, when she last had sex and how old she was when she lost her virginity.

The woman told the man that she turned 18 “about three months ago. March” – King’s birth month. She also said that she has appeared in beauty pageants, although neither participant named the state.

When asked why she wanted to appear in an adult video, the woman replies, “I thought it’d be fun and it sounded like I needed the money… So I just decided to do it.”
