Yoko Ono, famous victim of international child abduction

A little known fact about Yoko Ono is mentioned in this biography:

After the collapse of her relationship with Ichiyanagi she married the American producer and art promoter Anthony Cox, and they had a daughter, Kyoko.

. . .

In 1966 Ono held a show at the Indica Gallery, London. John Dunbarwas the gallery’s director. “I introduced John and Yoko,” he recalls. “I was a friend of John and Paul, and suggested they come in; I thought John would enjoy it. Yoko had never heard of John. I had to explain that he was a rich person who might buy something … It wasn’t immediately clear that anything was going to happen. She is a strong woman. John had never met anyone like her.”

After two years they got together. But the corollary was that Cox, after a custody battle for Kyoko that Ono won, effectively kidnapped the child, and Ono did not see her at all between the ages of eight and 31.
