"Michael Dale lay in his Escondido home with a plastic bag wrapped around his head and sealed with duct tape for at least eight minutes as Michaela Rylaarsdam, vibrator in hand, kept the cameras rolling, according to an arrest warrant affidavit filed in San Diego Superior Court."
"She only called 911 when he started turning blue. By then, it was too late to save him."
"Rylaarsdam, 32, was arrested in February 2025 and charged with murder. Last week, she took a plea deal to the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter, meaning that she acted with disregard for human life but not with the intent to kill, according to a spokesperson for the San Diego County district attorney's office."
"Over the course of several weeks, he paid her more than $11,000 to engage in conversations with him, come to his home and perform acts of bondage, according to the affidavit. The requests he had for her ranged from bizarre to downright dangerous."
A man died after a BDSM session in an Escondido home involved a plastic bag sealed with duct tape around his head. A creator allegedly continued filming while holding a vibrator, and she called 911 only after the man began turning blue. The man was reportedly suffocated for at least eight minutes before emergency help was requested. The creator was arrested in February 2025 and charged with murder. A plea deal reduced the charge to involuntary manslaughter, with the expectation of a maximum four-year state prison sentence. The victim had met the creator through an adult services website and paid more than $11,000 over several weeks for conversations and bondage acts, including requests involving saran wrap and glue.
