Federal prosecutors this week charged a German man with trying to extort money from former supermodel Cindy Crawford. According to court documents, Edis Kayalar, 26, threatened to release a photo of Crawford’s 8-year-old daughter in which she’s gagged and bound to a chair, unless Crawford paid him $100,000. The girl’s nanny apparently took the photo during what she described as a game of “cops and robbers.”
