A California woman who lived a double life as an OnlyFans model and high-end escort pleaded guilty Wednesday to involuntary manslaughter after one of her clients died following sexual activity with her.
Michaela Rylaarsdam, 32, will be sentenced next month to four years in prison after her client, 55-year-old Michael Dale, died from asphyxiation.
Dale died at his home in Escondido in San Diego County. Authorities said the woman, who had reportedly been working in the industry for approximately 10 years, was based in Menifee in Riverside County.
Prosecutors alleged the death resulted from Rylaarsdam placing duct tape over his mouth and a plastic bag and Saran Wrap over his head during a recorded encounter. Because his limbs were bound, Dale could not remove the items.
He remained inside the bag for approximately eight minutes, leading him to be declared brain dead the following day. The woman — whose husband was aware of her OnlyFans site and helped manage the business — said she immediately called 911 afterward.
Rylaarsdam is married to Brandon Rylaarsdam and has three sons, according to her kink site, Secret Hostess, where she posted pictures of herself and boasted about her secret life under the name “Ashley SinCal,” adding, “the h is silent.”
Dale reportedly paid her $11,000 for this particular encounter.
She described herself as an “upscale and classy creation” with “10 years of experience.” On her Secret Hostess page, she claimed to be a “chameleon of this industry” offering “intoxicating and provocative performance[s]” and “naughty games.”
Her website advertised several services, including the “Ultimate Incall,” her highest-priced offering at $1,500.
Other services included the “Toy Show” for $200 and the “Wild Incall” for $1,100, while a “Mild Incall” was listed at $800. Outcall services were offered at rates $300 lower than the corresponding incall options.
Rylaarsdam also advertised FaceTime or Zoom play sessions for $150 and noted that a $25 nonrefundable deposit was required.
According to the listing, deposits could be paid through Zelle, Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, or by invoice, according to the Mail, which shared a screenshot of the page that has since been removed.
Rylaarsdam reportedly specialized in “incorporat[ing] acrobatics into my lap dances,” boasting that “NO OTHER listed on this site is as professional as I am.”
Her attorney, Dan Cohen, previously stated that his client had no intention of killing Dale, arguing that although consent is not a legal defense, it is “certainly a mitigating factor.”
“I think there was no intent to kill and no attempt to cover this up,” he said. “And she acted appropriately when she realized this was a problem.
“There is definitely a consensual element — not only something he consented to, something he was actively seeking.”
