Porn actress murder charge

A photographer has been charged with murdering a Canadian porn actress and dumping her body in the woods, in a killing that may have been part of a sexual bondage fantasy, authorities in Pennsylvania said.

Anthony Frederick, 46, was last seen with Natel King, 23, in the area where a bondage-themed photoshoot took place. He was charged with murder, abuse of a corpse and possession of a knife.

As he was led from the Norristown court, Frederick told reporters he was innocent.

King, also known by the stage name Taylor Sumers, died of multiple stab wounds to the chest, neck and hands. Her body was wrapped in a blue drape backdrop similar to the type used by photographers, and she was found with a gagging device and a leather strap attached to her head.
