OnlyFans Model Arrested For Murder After Allegedly Killing Client

She says it was her first time doing BDSM. But for Michael Dale, it would be his last. OnlyFans model Michaela Rylaarsdam has been arrested and charged with murder in Dale’s 2023 death.

According to reports, Dale requested a “date” that included BDSM, or ‘bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism’ as the practice is called. People who enjoy BDSM get a sexual thrill out of activities that include being whipped, tied up, or other activities that require them to submit to another’s command. In these practices, there is usually an agreed-upon “safe” word to indicate how far the dominant person should go.

A mother of three who had dueling identities on social media, one as a loving parent and another that showcased sexual content, Rylaarsdam traveled from San Diego to Dale’s home in Escondido, Ca. after he hired her for $11K.

She maintained accounts on OnlyFans, TikTok and X, where she was known as Asshley SinCal. Through their company, SinCal Entertainment, she and her husband Brandon advertised ‘adult’ party services, providing strippers and topless bartenders for events around the state. Rylaarsdam, who was 29 in 2023, told police Dale found her on an adult website and requested, per the affidavit, for her to “‘wrap him up in Saran Wrap like a mummy,’ glue a pair of women’s boots onto his feet and pour adhesive onto his eyes to seal them shut.”

She says she complied but Dale, 56, was found unresponsive with “duct tape over his mouth, a plastic bag over his head, more Saran Wrap around that, and then duct tape wrapped around his face and head, securing all the layers to his head,” per the charging documents. “He also appeared to have had Saran Wrap wrapped around his neck tightly.”

When she saw Dale struggling to breathe, the aspiring BDSM practitioner called 911 and attempted CPR, but it was too late.

At the scene, officers reviewed the phone that she was using to create content. The footage showed her using a vibrator while Dale was lying near her. It did not show the victim requesting to have anything placed over his head. The medical examiner’s report states that Dale was confined in that manner until he was asphyxiated. Rylaarsdam told police this was her first time attempting to do BDSM.

She was arrested last month and is being held without bail in a San Diego detention center after pleading not guilty. No word on what took authorities so long to make an arrest.

Rylaarsdam’s next court appearance is in April.
