Manacled Mormon case

The Manacled Mormon case, also known as the Mormon sex in chains case, was a case of reputed sexual assault and kidnap of Kirk Anderson, a young missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), by an American woman, Joyce McKinney, in England in 1977. Because McKinney and her accomplice, Keith May, skipped bail and fled to the United States before the case could be tried and were not extradited, they were never tried for these specific crimes. According to Anderson, he had been abducted by McKinney from the steps of a church meetinghouse, chained to a bed and raped by her.

After the case, McKinney was allowed to reside in the US with a falsified passport. McKinney later discussed the case in the 2010 documentary film ''Tabloid''; she filed lawsuits against the film's director, Errol Morris, in 2011 and 2016, both of which were dismissed in court. In 2019, McKinney was homeless and living in her vehicle when she was charged with the hit-and-run manslaughter of a 91-year-old pedestrian; the court found her a mentally incompetent defendant and sent her for psychiatric treatment, confirming in 2020 that she would remain in a psychiatric hospital, with reviews of her competence at future dates.
