Ian and his then-wife Angela Diaz were accused of conspiring to ruin Michelle's life.
They allegedly posted ads on Craigslist with Michelle's address, seeking a man to fulfill her "rape fantasy," hoping she would be sexually assaulted.
Michelle was wrongfully arrested and spent three months in jail before being released.

Ian was sentenced to 10 years in prison but is currently fighting to have the conviction overturned. Angela was also sentenced but has already been released.
Michelle's Letter
In the letter, Michelle wrote: "I was a captive of Mr. Diaz long before I ever ended up in a jail cell.
In fact, while the experience of being falsely arrested and imprisoned amounted to my worst nightmare, I have often told friends and loved ones this chilling truth: that I would take three months in jail over a single day spent in his company."
She added, "I think it's important for the court to understand the impact that Mr. Diaz has had on my life."

Michelle described herself before meeting Ian as a "confident, happy and optimistic young woman who saw her whole life ahead of her."
She said the relationship "with a man so dark, twisted and malicious" turned her life around.
She continued: "Your honor, I didn't have shadows in my eyes before Ian Diaz, but I certainly did after what he put me through."
