Mormon sex slave case re-emerges
A bizarre case from the UK in the 1970s concerning a Mormon missionary who claimed he was abducted and raped by a Wyoming beauty queen re-surfaced this week. The UK site Mail Online has the full story, but here are the cliff notes:
Apparently Kirk Anderson, a 21 year-old Mormon missionary serving in the UK in 1977, claimed he was abducted by a 28 year-old woman by the name of Joyce McKinney with the help of a male accomplice. He was then taken to a remote honeymoon cottage and tied to a bed while McKinney repeatedly demanded that he marry her. When he refused, she put on a sexy nightie, tore off his pajamas and raped him.
Yup, you heard that right. According to the press coverage, she took off his clothes and sheraped him. When he got loose he went to the police about it, and the story became quite the media circus back in the day (aided by McKinney’s good looks and willingness to take nude pictures for the media).
Now now, try not to laugh. If the gender roles were reversed and this was a story about an obsessive male stalker abducting and raping a female Mormon missionary, no one would be laughing. No one would sit back and say, “Well, he’s a really attractive guy, I don’t see what the rape victim is complaining about.” For a woman to rape a man may be a rare occurrence (ostensibly because men are so horny they never say “no” to sex), but it can happen.
Why is this story back in the headlines? Because recently a woman calling herself “Bernann McKinney” became the first person to have a pet cloned by a commercial company, in this case her pet bulldog “Booger.” Some savvy media types recognized her name and face (Bernann was Joyce McKinney’s middle name) and now it looks very, very likely that the two McKinneys are one and the same.
This woman ought to be locked up. If allegations of kidnapping, rape, assault and attempted kidnapping aren’t good enough reasons, wasting thousands and thousands of dollars on something as stupid as cloning an ugly pet should be. Oh, and add “wearing too much hideous eyeshadow” to her list of crimes against humanity.
SMALL UPDATE ~ A participant named “gramps” on the Mormon Discussions forums had this to say about Kirk Anderson:
When I arrived at the mission home in Epsom, Surrey, circa 1978, I met Elder Andersen. He was the Mission President’s secretary at the time. The events mentioned above had happened shortly before I arrived.He looked terrible. He was thin, his pants falling off him. Really, he looked bad. But, he was the nicest guy. And I really enjoyed talking with him.I hope he is doing well now.
Interesting. Sounds like he was a stressed and traumatized person if true.
UPDATE II ~ The dog cloner admitted to being the woman accused of sexual assault in 1977. Worst-kept secret in the world.
never brought to justice” is ridiculous, although I agree she should have stood her ground and been found not guilty, as I am sure she would have been.
said the courts were glad to see the back of them BOTH when she skipped
bail She was sexually adventurous, yes, but the guy was six feet four
or something, and she was a petite little thing – she didn’t overpower
him and tie him up. He must have complied up to a point. It would have been unsafe to convict. What happened to her is exactly what happened to
me – the guy blamed her so as not to lose his job – in the McKinney case
being excommunicated from the Mormon church, in mine being fired by
Scottish Rail. I do believe she may have stalked him since, but that
was never in an extreme enough way to have been a crime, and anyway she
was never charged with this. I am fed up with hearing about women being
charged with murder and false imprisonment and conspiracy mainly because they are not chaste – look at the Thompson/Bywaters case in England where a woman was, in effect, hanged because she was an adulteress. The woman did not condone or assist her lover in any way in the murder of her elderly husband, but her adultery was emphasised over and over to the jury, though she was not on trial for that. It makes my blood boil and THAT is why I admired Joyce McKinney, though I would have admired her more if she had stood her ground and fought.
“nude photos” you and others have printed, which are actionable legally as well as your malicious slander and character defamation, are you so dishonest that you did no research to find out HOW they were faked [before you printed them]? Did you have Ms. McKinney’s CONSENT to use her photograph– along with your slanderous, libelous stories? I’ll bet NOT! Did you not even see the poor job that was done on the forged modeling release where they misspelled her name? Are you not aware that your precious Mormon leaders were seen, MEETING WITH with a British tabloid, who then paid a false friend of Ms. McKinney’s to BREAK INTO HER HOME and steal photos from her modeling composite (all clothed) which were then ALTERED to make her appear “naked”–as well as to be printed along with terrible stories to make her appear immoral–and to ILLEGALLY SUBJUDICE her case, so that it was never continued? The tabloid even bragged about how much they had paid the burglar, who they then “smuggled out to Mexico” to avoid prosecution! I even saw one faked photo which had air brush lines on it where they had “painted out” her two piece swimsuit. Ms. McKinney was a modest person. Can you imagine how mortified she was? No. Nor can you imagine the pain you scandal mongering small town minded MORMON CULTISTS have brought to her by repeating your filth over and over! But that was the whole point in the Great Mormon Press Hoax, wasn’t it? To discredit her so that if she “talked” on why she rejected –and left–Mormonism, (which is like getting out of The Mafia) no body would believe her, or so you thought. But the whole cover on this hoax is about to be blown right off. So buckle your safety belts, Mormons. AND WATCH YOUR LYING TONGUES! She has sued once and WON a huge lawsuit already for nuts idiotic enough to say “a former Miss Wyoming USA raped a man”. And for the recent round of slander, she is suing again. Lucky that your names are traceable and that a subpoena can be issued to demand that you appear in court as evidence as to how you Mormon cultists organize to slander and discredit her– because she was a dissident who spoke out against the abuses and false doctrine of the Mormon cult. As for Truth-teller Ghislaine, can you give us an address where to write you? I’m sure Ms. McKinney and her lawyers and literary agents would like to thank you for speaking out in her behalf and for stating The Truth. The only thing that Ghislaine left out was: that 300 pound Anderson admitted in court that he NEVER SAW ANY CLOROFORM. And for you Mormons propagating slander: Check out the COURT RECORDS and get court statements before you slander Ms. McKinney. (The other two Mormonized version of the story are that chubby Kirk was
held at “gunpoint” and the third version,”knifepoint”. Which is it? … you Mormons need to get together on your contradictory choice of weapons!) Nuff said. See ya in court!
