A creepy German model was charged Thursday with trying to extort $100,000 from Cindy Crawford, using a provocative photo of the fashion icon's 8-year-old daughter as leverage.

The blackmail scheme backfired on Edis Kayalar when Crawford and her husband, nightclub impresario Rande Gerber, went to cops.

"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," the power couple's spokeswoman said in a statement Thursday night.
