Joyce McKinney (born August 6, 1949 in Avery County , North Carolina , USA) is an American former model . She was Miss World-Wyoming in 1973. She became known for kidnapping a Latter-day Saint missionary in England in 1977, taking her to a country house in Okehampton , Devon , and forcing her to have sex for three days. She herself insists to this day that it was love on both sides. She fled England and was sentenced to one year in prison in absentia.
