In recent news, a blackmailer is trying to take advantage of super model Cindy Crawford.

A man who blackmailed Cindy Crawford has been sentenced to two years in prison after he tried to extort $100,000 from the supermodel with a photograph of her daughter tied and gagged.

A man who blackmailed Cindy Crawford has been sentenced to two years in prison.

Edis Kayalar has been found guilty of extorting money from the supermodel -- who is married to Rande Gerber -- by threatening to release a photograph of her then-seven-year-old daughter Kaia gagged and bound to a chair.

Court documents from his appearance in court in Kirchheim unter Teck, Germany state that Kayalar -- who turned himself into police in Germany last November -- stole the photograph from the couple’s former nanny in 2009.

Cindy reportedly gave into Kayalar’s initial requests and paid him $1,000 for a copy of the image.

However, Kayalar attempted to extort a further $100,000 from the couple and repeatedly threatened to sell or release the photograph to the media if they failed to pay.

According to the documents, Kaia -- who is now eight -- told her parents the photo, which they had been unaware of, was taken during a “cops and robbers” game with her nanny.

Cindy and Rande married in 1998 and they also have a 10-year-old son Presley.
