OnlyFans sensation Michaela Rylaarsdam confessed to involuntary manslaughter following a tragic incident involving a fetish session gone horribly wrong. The 32-year-old mother of three made her plea under a stipulated four-year sentence, according to a spokesperson from the San Diego County District Attorney's Office.
The case revolves around the untimely death of 56-year-old Michael Dale. Initially charged with murder, Rylaarsdam faced the court's scrutiny after Dale was found dead post-session. Reports revealed that Dale had paid over $11,000 for the session in April 2023, during which he requested to be wrapped in Saran wrap, mummy-style.
“He insisted on being wrapped up like a mummy,” shared a source familiar with the case.
Dale's peculiar requests allegedly included having women's boots glued to his feet and adhesive placed in his eyes to keep them shut. When authorities arrived, they discovered Dale unresponsive, wrapped in plastic with a bag over his head—an eerie scene that led to his tragic demise. Declared brain dead at the hospital, Dale was removed from life support shortly thereafter.
A thorough investigation by Escondido Police, led by Detective Chris Zack, unveiled chilling details. Zack testified that Dale's phone contained texts where he asked Rylaarsdam to glue his eyes shut with Gorilla Glue. However, there was no mention of a bag over his head. Video footage intended for Rylaarsdam's OnlyFans, depicting Dale's predicament, further complicated the case.
In her defense, Rylaarsdam's legal team argued she attempted to save Dale by calling 911 and performing CPR until police arrived. Despite these efforts, the medical examiner ruled Dale's death a homicide due to asphyxiation, with the plastic bag reportedly secured for at least eight minutes. Rylaarsdam is scheduled for sentencing in June, where the final chapter of this tragic saga will unfold.
