Southern California-based OnlyFans model and married mother of three Michaela Rylaarsdam broke down at her sentencing in the death of the man she inadvertently killed in a BDSM act.
The adult entertainer, 32, was charged with murder but pleaded guilty last month to the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter in the April 2023 asphyxiation death of client Michael Dale.
The 56-year-old had allegedly paid $11,000 for Rylaarsdam to use Saran wrap to encase him “like a mummy.”
Rylaarsdam on Monday was sentenced to four years behind bars, during which she tearfully told Dale’s family she had “no words” to describe her “million emotions,” TMZ reports.
“It needs to be said, there are no words. There are no words. ‘I’m sorry’ is not enough,” she said. “I would say the desire to go back and undo this would be at the top.”
People previously reported that Dale also allegedly tasked Rylaarsdam with gluing his eyes shut and gluing women’s boots to his feet, and was discovered with duct tape on his mouth and a plastic bag over his head — which had been there for at least eight minutes.
Escondido Police said that the bag was never part of the request Dale had texted her.
Dale’s new roommate at the time also testified to having heard Dale offer Rylaarsdam more money to stop. She did ultimately call 911 and Dale was declared brain dead at a nearby hospital.
