 MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (21 Feb 2006) -- The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of a beauty queen who was busted after jurors saw a videotape of her scuba diving in Hawaii.

The Supreme Court justices did not issue a comment in refusing to issue an appeal.

Denise "Dee" Henderson, a former Mrs. Minnesota International, was convicted of fraud in 2004 after collecting more than $190,000 in Social Security benefits by claiming she was disabled.

She is serving a four-year term which started in 2005.

A videotape of Henderson scuba diving in Hawaii was the key evidence that resulted in the fraud conviction.

Henderson won the Mrs. Minnesota International title in 1999.

She also competed in the Mrs. U.S. International pageant and won the Mrs. Iowa International 2001 pageant.

She was also a Mrs. International Top 10 finalist..
