Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerbe: Extortion victims

Another celebrity extortion is headlining the news again. Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber are receiving threats and being targeted for extortion, over a photo of their eight year-old daughter, Kaia. The photo shows Kaia tied up to a chair and gagged.

According to TMZ, "Edis Kayalar, a friend of a former nanny of Crawford and husband Rande Gerber, was threatening to sell the photo of the couple's 7-year-old daughter (the age when the photo was taken).

Crawford's rep says the photo was taken as part of a game of cops and robbers, without Crawford's knowledge. The docs say the nanny took the photos as a "prank" and that Kayalar stole the picture from her."

Kayalar was arrested and deported to Germany for his fist attempt of extortion but continue to extort money by calling the Crawfords from Germany.
