Erin Andrews Faces Video Stalker, Barrett Dealt 2.5-Years

Erin Andrews tasted justice in a Los Angeles courthouse today, appearing for sentencing and confrontation of her peephole-stalker Michael David Barrett and to witness his punishment. The 49-year-old former Chicago businessman was arrested after he filmed, then posted on the internet nude videos of Erin in what everyone can agree on, was during her private times.

Barrett pled guilty to interstate stalking charges and was given 30 months in state prison (plus probation and home restraints aimed at containing the stalker-creep.) He can’t ever contact Erin or her family again, forever…unless he wants to die a busted old man in jail. The judge should’ve also banned him from interacting with all shapes and forms of peepholes! Is this guy on the sex offender list yet?.

If anyone can recall the naked peeper-scandal drama from last July along with the epic role NinjaDude.com contributed, then well, you’re definitely proud to be a regular here. Before mainstream media (and many indie sites) were acknowledging this event at all, our elite staff took immediate action–delving deeply into an investigation that revealed evidence and pointed to possible suspects in the case. We successfully produced & reported exclusive details on the events for the world and investigators!.

An “angry” Erin Andrews confronted her stalker in court today, where the man accused of filming hours of nude video of the ESPN sportscaster through hotel room peepholes was sentenced to 30 months in prison. Michael Barrett, 49, pleaded guilty to interstate stalking for following Andrews around the country. He was ordered to surrender himself to authorities on May 3. In addition to the prison time, he was sentenced to pay Andrews $7,366 in restitution. Andrews took the stand and spoke directly to Barrett, who, she later told reporters, would not look her in the eye.

Eventually we assisted the authorities in tracking Barrett-the-tom and helped identify key evidence for the criminal complaint case, ultimately leading to this afternoon’s sentencing in LA court.

Despite our site’s theme of celebrity “gossip-news” and paparazzi pics (fresh off the street,) we wholly understand and recognize that once in awhile, these random situations on teh internets require serious business, and for that my friends our sword remains forever sharpened! Haters…know your truth. Here’s more from Erin if you didn’t watch the first video above.

“I’m angry. I want him to hear that. I want the judge to hear that,” Andrews said at a press conference following the sentencing. Andrews said she believed the deal prosecutors offered was far too lenient and called on Congress to stiffen anti-stalking and video voyeurism laws. “I’m at the angry stage right now,” Andrews said. “I’m mad. Thirty months isn’t enough. I think it’s time for Congress, lawmakers to make a stiffer sentence for what it is. A lot of celebrities who have been stalked want to put it away. I can’t. I’m in the angry stage.”
