Jail for German who attempted to blackmail Cindy Crawford

2:00 PM March 10th, 2010

A German court sent a man to jail for two years for attempting to extort $100,000 from supermodel Cindy Crawford, according to reports from Germany.

Edis Kayalar, 26, had surrendered himself to German authorities last November after being charged with attempting to extort money from Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber. Kayalar had got hold of a photo of the couple's daughter, 7, gagged and bound to a chair.

The photo was reportedly taken by the girl's nanny during a game of cops and robbers. Kayalar claimed he was merely attempting to warn Crawford the nanny was a bad influence.

The judge, Joachim Spieth, ruled: "The attempted extortion was at an advanced stage and failed."
