A California housewife leading a double life has admitted to killing a 55-year-old man during a kinky sexual encounter that went fatally wrong. Michaela Rylaarsdamn, 32, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to causing the death of Michael Dale in 2023, after recording explicit videos with him for her OnlyFans account.
The Incident
Prosecutors stated that the videos showed Dale with his wrists bound, duct tape over his mouth, and a plastic bag covering his head for several minutes. Rylaarsdamn, who used the alias Asshley SinCal, called 911 for help, but Dale died the next day in hospital from asphyxiation due to the items placed over his head.
Background of the Accused
At the time of her arrest in February 2025, Rylaarsdamn charged up to $1,500 'plus a generous tip' for her services, according to her online page where she boasted of her sexual exploits. Dale had paid her just over $11,000 for the encounter and made several requests via text messages, including tying him up, wrapping him 'like a mummy' in Saran Wrap, and gluing boots to his feet, as per testimony from her preliminary hearing.
Behind the scenes of her kinky website, Rylaarsdamn lived a more mundane life with her husband Brandon, who was allegedly fully aware of her secret activities and helped run their 'business.' The couple share three young children, whom she also mentioned on her escort page.
Online Persona
On her escort page, Secret Hostess, Rylaarsdam described herself as 'an upscale and classy creation' with 10 years of experience. She wrote: 'I am able to carry myself through an intellectual and stimulating conversation. Maybe you don't want to talk but you want to experience the most intoxicating and provocative performance dedicated to you alone.' She referred to herself as a 'chameleon of this industry,' able to adapt to specific desires, and catered to men, women, and non-binary individuals. She described herself as in her 20s, 5ft 3in, with a curvy body, brunette hair, and a DD cup size.
