In March 2008, Jaclyn Freckmann was granted a domestic violence restraining order against Kayalar. He was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from her and had to move out of her residence.

As for their relationship, Freckmann listed them as “married or registered domestic partners.” They were married on November 16, 2007, and separated three months after. Her account of his behavior is disturbing and horrific.

She detailed how Kayalar got violent once she asked him to move out: “On February 12,2008 I asked Respondent to move out. As he was packing he told me he did not want to leave and wanted to work things out. This turned into a physical encounter. He pushed me up against the wall, slapped, me and yelled at me.”

It got worse from there the next morning: “I wouldn't speak to him so he punched, choked, restrained me, and then he continued to beat me and then rape me. As he restrained me he held his fist to my face and said if I screamed he would kill me, and had no problem doing it. He said if he killed me no one would ever find out and he could just leave the country. Alter raping me with a foreign object, he started choking and suffocating me until I lost consciousness. My body went into shock, I started shaking, hyperventilating, and could not see properly. He resuscitated me, I threw up and then he continued to beat with his fist and told me I was stupid. He held me hostage in my home.”

“This is exactly the kind of guy you don’t want your daughter to date.” And despite alleged incidences of domestic violence Maureen says their relationship isn’t over. “They’re still kind of on. Marissa was planning on going to Germany soon to visit him.”

Maureen says she met Edis once when her daughter brought him home and that “he’s one of those kinds of guys you want to like, but there’s an undertone that tells you otherwise”.
Maureen says that her daughter was totally unaware of Kayalar’s alleged extortion plans. “I just got off the phone with Marissa, she’s ok,” Maureen tells RadarOnline.com “She didn’t know anything about it. She’s just kind of in shock. She’s afraid of what’s going on; that he might try to implicate her somehow in all of this.”

And in a bizarre twist of fate it turns out Maureen actually knows the Gerbers, having met them in the past when she was working as a flight attendant. “They’re very nice people,” Maureen says. “Especially Cindy has always been very nice.”

Cindy Crawford and husband Rande Gerber recently got disturbing news regarding a plot involving their then seven-year old daughter.
Read The Official Documents Here
In documents filed on Thursday by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office in the U.S. District Court, the couple is revealed to be the targets of a extortion scheme.
Edis Kayalar, an acquaintance of the couple's former nanny, apparently threatened to sell a photo of the couple's daughter. In the photo, the young girl is bound to a chair in revealing clothing and also gagged.
EXCLUSIVE: George Clooney and Cindy Crawford’s Double Date
On July 13 around 7 p.m., the couple received a phone call from Kayalar (who initially identified himself as “Brian”) during which he claimed to have stolen the picture from their former nanny and wanted to return it because it “bothered” him and it “just wasn’t right.”
A few hours later, he called back asking Gerber to meet him at a bar and also mentioned he was “broke” and would like monetary compensation as a reward for returning the photo.

Crawford's spokeswoman Annett Wolf issued a statement saying Crawford had no knowledge of the photo and that the photo was taken as part of a game. According to the documents, the nanny- who had been fired a week before Kayalar’s phone call- said the photo was taken as a prank. She was going to put it on the family’s front door as a joke but decided against it in the end.
“The victims have since learned from their daughter that the nanny took the photograph as a part of a purported ‘cops and robbers’ game,” the court papers stated.

Gerber eventually gave Kayalar $1,000 in cash for the image but Kayalar continued to ask for more money for copies he made of the photo. He later asked for as much as $100,000 (later upped to 100,000 euros) as a payoff for not releasing the photo to the media.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, Kayalar “has not been arrested” and authorities believe he is in Germany. On September 16th he was arrested for an immagration violation and shortley deported back to Germany.

“Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford intend to pursue any and all available legal action against anyone who aids the perpetrator in the distribution or sale of the photograph of their daughter.”
