The 32-year-old was sentenced on Monday by a California court in connection with the death of Michael Dale, 56, who died during an extreme fetish encounter at his Escondido home on April 17, 2023.
Court records showed that Dale paid Rylaarsdam more than $11,000 for the session, which was recorded for content on her OnlyFans page.
Investigators said Rylaarsdam, who advertised fetish-related services and described herself as non-judgmental, carried out several acts during the encounter that restricted Dale’s movement and ability to breathe. Prosecutors said she bound his limbs, wrapped his body in plastic wrap “like a mummy,” sealed his eyes with Gorilla Glue, glued women’s boots to his feet, duct-taped his mouth, and covered his head with a plastic bag secured with additional tape.
Authorities said Dale was deprived of air for at least eight minutes and became unresponsive.
Rylaarsdam later attempted CPR and contacted emergency services, but Dale was pronounced dead after being taken to hospital.
According to prosecutors, Dale had specifically requested to be wrapped like a mummy during the session. Deputy District Attorney David Jarman said the plastic bag remained over Dale’s head for about eight minutes, resulting in fatal asphyxiation.
