Melbourne, February 3 (ANI): A German man who allegedly tried to extort 100,000 dollars from Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber has been indicted, prosecutors have revealed.

Edis Kayalar attempted to blackmail the couple over a photograph showing the supermodel’s daughter Kaia gagged and bound.

The 26-year-old has been charged with one count of extortion and two counts of attempted extortion.

“In the photo, the seven-year-old daughter is seen sitting gagged with her hands and feet bound to a chair,” News.com.au quoted the prosecutor’s office in Stuttgart as saying in a statement.

Kaia told her parents that the snap was taken as part of a “cops and robbers” game by her nanny, a friend of Kayalar who later took its possession.

Kayalar, a professional model according to entertainment site TMZ.com and known to cops for drug-related offenses, later turned himself in in his native country after the couple involved the FBI. (ANI)
