German man, who tried to blackmail Cindy Crawford over a photograph showing the supermodel's young daughter gagged and bound, was sentenced Tuesday to two years behind bars.
Edis Kayalar, 26, was found guilty of one count of extortion and two counts of attempted extortion after he demanded more than $100,000 (€74,000) from Crawford, a court near the southern German city of Stuttgart ruled.
The shaven-headed Kayalar, wearing a grey shirt and skinny black tie, covered his face with a pink folder to avoid photographers in the court.
The Crawfords' daughter, Kaia, seven years old at the time, told her parents, who were unaware of the image, that her nanny had taken the photograph at the family home in the United States as part of a "Cops and Robbers" game.
