Woman says she 'loved Mormon' Joyce McKinney, aged 27,. a former beauty- queen, main- tained at Epsom Magistrates' Court, Surrey, yesterday that fear of excommunication from the Mormon church 'was the reason for the "'lies" Kirk Anderson, a missionary, had told. She said Mr Anderson had ruined their future and " eternal progression ". She had prayed for a very special boy to come into her life, and that was where Mr Anderson came in. She added: " I loved Kirk so much I would have skied down Mount Everest in the nude with a carnation up my nose." The magistrates decided that there was a case to answer against Miss McKinney and a fellow American, Keith May, on charges of kidnapping Mr Anderson and imprisoning him in a remote Devon cottage. The bench also found a case to answer on a joint charge of possessing chloroform, and on separate charges of possessing imitation revolvers, said by the prosecution to have been used in the kidnapping outside a Mormon church in Ewell, Surrey, in September. Both were committed for trial and granted bail of f3,000. Miss McKinney read from a statement she had made and said that in July, 1975, ini Utah, she and Mr Anderson had stayed together all night' He proposed marriage to her. The most important commitment she had madegwas to give- her virtue to Mr Anderson, Miss McKinney said she had saved ?9,000, "my entire savings ", to come to Britain, and added: "If I did not have faith in his (Mr Anderson's) love for me I could not have flown halfway round the world with myI wedding band [ wedding ' ring] and*' nmy trousseau in my suitcnse to see him.", Referring to the guns,. said to be used-in the alleged kid- napping, she said: "I loved him so much that if anybody had tried to. shoot him I would have stepped in front of him and stopped the bullet. I would not let anyone harm a hair of his head." Of the alleged incidents in the cottage, she said: "How could an eight-stone girl rape an 18-stone, 6ft 2in man? His legs are as big round as my wvaist." She was terrified of Mr Anderson's strength. When they made love he was lying on the bed " grinning like a monkey" moving his hips wAith her. Miss McKinney went on to discuss Mr:Anderson's orgasms. She said he could not have an e'jasm unless be was tied Aip. His> mother was over-doiminbnt and. he did not get pleasure f:rom sexual intercourse. He had to make love with the. lights out "and wvash up afterwvards " He thought sex was; dirty and had tried to put the blame on her, but she had done only, what he had requested. 'Mr Stuart Elgrod, for tlhe defelice of Miss McKinney, sub- mintted that there wvas no case to answer, and said evidence given by Mr Anderson earlier was manifestly unreliable. Mr Robert Marshall Andrewvs, for the defence of Mr May, said the Devon operation wvas seen by his client as "a rescue from an oppressive and tyraflni- cal organization ", the Mormon church, and that it was neces. sary for Mr Anderson's owvn good and his life.l Woman says she 'loved Mormon '
