NEW YORK, Aug 23, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The woman who married a suspect in the killing of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey says she was abused by John Karr as a 13-year-old bride.
Quientana Ray made the allegations Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America," when she said she met Karr at a party in Alabama when she was 12 and he was 19. She said he seduced her, and against her parents' wishes, they eventually married.
"I was drugged and things were done to me without me having any idea," said Ray, adding Karr frequently talked about his fantasies about young girls.
Their marriage was annulled within a year, she said. Karr later married a 16-year-old.
Karr, a 41-year-old school teacher, is in jail in Los Angeles awaiting extradition to Boulder, Colo., to face charges of killing the 6-year-old glamour queen contestant in the basement of her home in 1996. He returned to the United States voluntarily on the weekend from Thailand, where he was being investigated for involvement in child pornography.
