OnlyFans Model Charged After Client's Death at Home

OnlyFans model Michaela Rylaarsdam has been charged with second-degree murder following the death of her client, Michael Dale, during a BDSM session at his home in April 2023. Dale, who paid Rylaarsdam $11,000 for the session, reportedly requested to be wrapped in Saran wrap and duct tape, but investigators found no evidence he asked for a plastic bag to be placed over his head, which ultimately led to his suffocation and death. Videos obtained by the police show Rylaarsdam filming content for her OnlyFans while Dale struggled to breathe, trapped in the wrapping. Rylaarsdam has pleaded not guilty, claiming it was her first time engaging in such acts, and maintains there was no intent to kill. Despite her claims, the prosecution argues that her actions exceeded the scope of Dale's consent, leading to his death. Rylaarsdam remains in custody without bail, awaiting trial for the charges.
