Michael David Barrett was arrested on October 2, 2009, at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

On December 15, 2009, Andrews begged in court for 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 followed Andrews in Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin in 2008. He went on to state that he shot naked videos of her through a peephole and 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 deal that included two years in jail. Andrews argued 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

On March 15, 2010, Barrett was sentenced to 30 months in prison. Erin Andrews later commented to reporters that the term of the sentence was "not enough."http://www.ecanadanow.com/entertainment/2010/03/16/erin-andrews-stalker-heading-to-prison/
