Barrett was also ordered to pay restitution totaling $7,366. The Westmont, Illinois resident pleaded guilty back in December of 2009 after he was initially arrested by the FBI in Chicago on October 2, 2009, and accused of illegally videotaping ESPN reporter Erin Andrews. According to federal authorities, the 48-year-old Barrett was charged with felony stalking. Reports say Barrett is accused of following Andrews around, secretly taping her walking around nude in her hotel rooms and then posting the "peephole videos" on the Internet.http://www.tmz.com/2009/10/02/arrest-erin-andrews-peeping-tom-case-nude-hotel-room-espn-reporter/ http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/10/fbi-arrests-westmont-man-in-espn-nude-video-case.html http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/03/illinois.andrews.arrest/

In making a statement of remorse prior to sentencing, Barrett said the following to Andrews in the courtroom:

• "There are no words to tell Ms. Andrews how sorry I am for what I've done to her," he said. "I hope someday she can forgive me."

Earlier, Andrews asked for the strongest punishment allowable under the law, which would have been five years, stating:

• " "You violated me and you violated all women ... You are a sexual predator, a sexual deviant and they should lock you up."
