Cindy Crawford blackmailer Edis Kayalar sent to jail

A German man Edis Kayalar has been convicted of trying to extort $100,000 from supermodel Cindy Crawford.

Edis Kayalar had attempted to blackmail Crawford & her husband Rande Gerber by threatening to release a photograph of their 7-year-old daughter gagged & bound to a chair.

The image was taken by the girl´s nanny during a game of cops and robbers, but eventually moved into Kayalar´s possession. Edis turned himself in to the German authorities last November.

Judge Joachim Spieth in the southern German town  of Kirchheim Unter Teck told him: “The attempt  at blackmail was well-advanced until it failed,” E! News reports.

Edis Kayalar has now been sentenced to two years in prison.
