WESTON, Fla., March 11 (UPI) -- Officials with a Florida beauty pageant said last month's winner was stripped of her crown after they learned of her past appearance at a porn convention.

The Miss Weston 2011 pageant officials said Feb. 20 winner Caroline Schwitzky, 21, of Miami, was disqualified after they learned she was named Miss Exxxotica at a 2008 New York porn convention and posed for semi-nude photos for a Web site, the New York Daily News reported Friday.

Organizers said they learned of Schwitzky's past from videos posted online.

Schwitzky said she entered the Miss Exxxotica pageant for the $2,000 prize.

"We all have dumb things in our life that we're not necessarily proud of," Schwitzky said.
