Kayalar threatened to sell a photo of the model's 7-year-old daughter to the media.

The picture, which was taken by a former nanny, featured the minor gagged and tied to a chair.

He surrendered to German authorities in November after he was deported from the U.S.

Judge Joachim Spieth has been quoted by Germany's 'The Local' as saying, "The attempt at blackmail was well-advanced until it failed." He sentenced Kayalar, who has previous drug offense charges, with the maximum sentence of two years.
