Michaela Rylaarsdam, a 31-year-old OnlyFans model, has been charged with second-degree murder following the death of Michael Dale, a 56-year-old man, during a BDSM session in April 2023. Dale paid Rylaarsdam over $11,000 for various fetish acts, which included being suffocated with a plastic bag secured by duct tape and Saran Wrap. The incident resulted in Dale becoming brain-dead due to asphyxiation; he died days later in the hospital. Rylaarsdam has pleaded not guilty and claims there was no intent to kill, arguing that their interaction was consensual within the context of BDSM practices. She remains in custody without bail while awaiting trial, with court proceedings scheduled for April 2025.

The Fatal Encounter: The Michaela Rylaarsdam Case
In April 2023, a consensual BDSM encounter between OnlyFans model Michaela Rylaarsdam and client Michael Dale ended in tragedy when Dale died of asphyxiation. Rylaarsdam, who filmed parts of the session for her content platform, was later charged with second-degree murder. The case has sparked debates about consent, legal boundaries in adult entertainment, and the responsibilities of content creators.
Basic
Information
Michaela
Brashaye Rylaarsdam, born in 1993 in California, is a 31-year-old
OnlyFans content creator and entrepreneur. She resides in San
Bernardino County with her husband and three children. Prior to the
incident, Rylaarsdam had no known criminal record.
Background
Details
about Rylaarsdam's early life and education remain limited.
Professionally, she operated under the pseudonym "Asshley
SinCal" (the
h is silent) on
OnlyFans and co-managed SinCal Entertainment, an adult party
entertainment company, with her husband Brandon. The couple's
business ventures included producing adult content and organizing
entertainment events.
Background of the Incident: On April 17, 2023, Michael Dale contacted Michaela Rylaarsdam through an escort service website after seeing her advertisement. He requested various BDSM activities, including being wrapped in Saran Wrap "like a mummy," having women's boots glued to his feet, and other extreme requests.
Circumstances of Death: During their encounter, which lasted several hours, Dale became incapacitated due to asphyxiation caused by the plastic bag placed over his head and secured tightly with duct tape and Saran Wrap. This situation led to his eventual death from lack of oxygen.
Legal
Proceedings
Following
a months-long investigation, Rylaarsdam was arrested in February 2025
by the Escondido Police Department and charged with second-degree
murder. She pleaded not guilty and is currently held without bail at
the Las Colinas Detention Facility in San Diego County. Her defense
argues the acts were consensual and that there was no intent to harm.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 2025.
Impact
on Victims and Society
Michael
Dale's death has profoundly affected his family and raised concerns
about the safety protocols within the adult entertainment industry.
The case has ignited public discourse on the boundaries of consensual
acts and the responsibilities of content creators. Legal experts
emphasize that consent may not absolve individuals from liability in
cases resulting in death.
Current
Status
Rylaarsdam
remains incarcerated, awaiting trial. There is no public record of
her participation in rehabilitation programs. The case continues to
be a focal point in discussions about legal and ethical standards in
adult content creation.

surrounding consent and legal responsibility. This case serves as a
cautionary tale for both content creators and consumers about the
importance of clear boundaries and understanding the potential risks
involved in adult entertainment activities.
