People.com - Finally facing the peeping Tom who videotaped her in the nude and then published the videos online, ESPN sportscaster Erin Andrews testified that her ordeal still haunts her.
"I have nightmares," she told the Los Angeles court Tuesday, according to the New York Daily News. "I walk in crowds and I see him in my peripheral vision. When I'm alone in my house, I have fears that he's going to walk inside and hurt me. I don't know him. I've never met him. I don't know why he chose me. But I hope he never sees the light of day again."
Illinois insurance executive Michael David Barrett, 48, who was arrested in October on charges of interstate stalking, admitted in court that he followed the 31-year-old sideline reporter to hotels in three different cities in 2008, installed tiny video cameras in her hotel-room peepholes, and posted the videos he made online.
Barrett avoided looking Andrews in the eye, the newspaper noted.
Under the plea agreement he's made, he's probably looking at two years in prison in return for his guilty plea. But Andrews argued for the full five he could potentially be slapped with at his Feb. 22 sentencing, saying that the incident has left her life in tatters – and herself subject to awful comments from sports fans.
Oh come on Erin, who are you kidding. This is the best thing that has ever happen to your career. We all thought you were smoking hot before the video but now that we all got a good look, your never going to be forgotten. You will go down in the books and the most well known female sportscaster in history for both your compelling halftime interviews, and maybe a video of you nude. There's no way you really see him in your peripheral vision when your walking down the street. Your just trying to get the attention that you already have, give it a rest. I give this guy props for the determination and the effort he went through to get this wonderful footage. A true stalker that will go down in sports fans history books as well.
