Suspected Crawford stalker reports to police
A 26-year-old man who allegedly tried to blackmail former supermodel Cindy Crawford for US$100,000 (€67,313) has handed himself in to police, German legal officials said today.
Edis Kayalar walked into a police station late yesterday, prosecutors in the south-western city of Stuttgart said.
He has been charged with one count of extortion in the US. If convicted, he could face up to two years in prison.
Kayalar allegedly threatened to release a photo of Crawford’s daughter bound to a chair and gagged when she was seven. According to court papers, the girl says a former nanny took the picture as part of a “cops and robbers” game.
Kayalar is to appear before a judge later today, who will rule on whether he is to remain in detention.
