King, a gymnast and freshman at the College of Philadelphia, who said she wanted to work at a fashion magazine after finishing her studies, wowed the crowd and judges, taking home the crown and landing a spot at the Miss Teen USA pageant.

"I, Melissa King, am doing this ... scene of my own free will and I am of sound mind and body," King says on tape.
