Edis Kayalar, of Germany, was charged with trying to extort $100,000 from former supermodel Cindy Crawford and her entrepreneur husband Rande Gerber over a photo of their then 7-year-old daughter bound to a chair and gagged, The Department of Justice said Thursday.

The daughter told her parents, who were unaware of the photo, that the nanny took the picture as part of a “cops and robbers” game, according to an affidavit.
