The former Miss Delaware Teen USA Melissa King stepped down from her throne after reports about an alleged sex tape involved her name.

It was a dream turned nightmare for Melissa King, the crowned Miss Delaware who resigned from her title after she was linked to a sex tape. A spokesperson of Miss Universe, the organization that is responsible for Miss Teen USA said that Melissa officially resigned from her throne last Tuesday.

The 18-year-old beauty queen hopeful is now shrouded with scandal after her face was identified in an amateur porn video that surfaced online. After the allegations which she still denies, adult video site YouPorn has offered King a $250,000 contract to be "Miss YouPorn" and to travel the world to promote the site. Melissa clearly declined the offer.
