OnlyFans creator pleads guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Escondido fetish death

[Zorro]

A woman charged with causing the death of an Escondido man during an encounter that she recorded for her OnlyFans site pleaded guilty Wednesday to involuntary manslaughter.

Michaela Rylaarsdam, 32, who initially faced a murder charge in the case, is slated to be sentenced next month to four years in state prison in connection with the 2023 death of 55-year-old Michael Dale.

Prosecutors allege videos recorded of the incident showed Dale with his wrists bound, a plastic bag over his head and duct tape over his mouth for several minutes.

Rylaarsdam ultimately called 911 for help. Dale died at a hospital the following day.

2. At a conference last weekend,

A medical examiner showed a case of a man in his 60's who hadn't shown up to teach Sunday school, so church members called the police to do a welfare check. The police found a body on a bed in women's clothing with a long blonde wig and tied up in a complex set of ropes. Yeah, it was the guy. Next to him was a knife and scissors, but he died of a heart attack and couldn't use them. Seems like he had done this before.
