A Chicago-area man accused of taking nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews in a hotel room and then putting them on the Internet was arrested at Chicago’s O’Hare airport Friday night, the FBI said in a statement Saturday.
Michael David Barrett, 48, has been slapped with federal charges of interstate stalking for taking the videos, posting the videos online and trying to sell them to celebrity website TMZ.com, according to federal officials.
Barrett, of Westmont, Ill., was arrested after returning from a trip to Buffalo, N.Y., authorities said.
Seven of the eight videos posted online were taken through a modified door peephole while Andrews was alone and undressed in hotel rooms in Nashville, Tenn., in September 2008. Investigators believe the eighth video was taken in a hotel in Milwaukee in July 2008.
FBI agents believe Barrett requested a Nashville hotel room next to Andrews’ and rigged the door’s peephole.
Erin Andrews has covered hockey, college football, college basketball and Major League Baseball as a sideline reporter for ESPN since 2004.
