Cindy

and
her
husband
Rande
Gerber
are
the
victims
of
a
blackmail
plot
involving
a
provocative
photo
of
the
fashion
icon's
8-year-old
daughter
as
leverage.
German
model
Edis
Kayalar
was
charged
yesterday
with
trying
to
extort
100,000
dollars
from
Crawford
and
Gerber,
reports
The
New
York
Daily
News.
His
devious
plan
backfired
when
the
star
couple
went
to
the
FBI.
"Rande
Gerber
and
Cindy
Crawford
intend
to
pursue
any
and
all
available
legal
action
against
anyone
who
aids
the
perpetrator
in
the
distribution
or
sale
of
the
photograph
of
their
daughter," the
power
couple''s
spokeswoman
said
in
a
statement.
In
July,
Kayalar,
26,
contacted
Crawford
and
Gerber,
and
claimed
he
had
a
"sexy
photograph"
of
their
then-7-year-old
daughter
Kaia
"in
revealing
clothing,
bound
to
a
chair
and
gagged,"
authorities
revealed.
The
picture
was
stolen
from
the
girl's
former
nanny,
who
had
been
dating
Kayalar.
