On December 15, 2009, Andrews pleaded in court for her convicted stalker, Barrett, to receive the maximum jail time for videotaping her in the nude in hotel rooms. Barrett, an insurance executive from Illinois admitted that he tracked Andrews down in Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin in 2008, shot naked videos of her through a peephole and then posted them online.http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/12/16/2009-12-16_urges_max_for_vid_perv_espn_beauty_rips_web_fiend_in_court.html

Barrett agreed to a plea that recommends two years, but Andrews wants the maximum of five years when he is sentenced on February 22, 2010. Andrews claims that Barrett's actions have hurt her career. "My career has been ripped apart, which I've worked very hard for," she told the judge. "I am subjected to crude comments and suggestions that I have partnered in a crime. I walk into stadiums, and fans say obscene things to me," she added.http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/12/16/2009-12-16_urges_max_for_vid_perv_espn_beauty_rips_web_fiend_in_court.html

Andrews told the court that she still has nightmares and fears seeing him again. "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," said Andrews. "I am a victim of this sexual predator. I would like to see him immediately put in prison for as long as possible," she told Judge Manuel Real.http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/12/16/2009-12-16_urges_max_for_vid_perv_espn_beauty_rips_web_fiend_in_court.html
