LOS ANGELES -- An Illinois insurance executive who secretly shot nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews was sentenced Monday to 21/2 years in prison after giving a tearful apology that was harshly rebuked by his victim.
Michael David Barrett pleaded guilty in December to interstate stalking after prosecutors accused him of following Andrews to at least three cities and shooting videos through hotel peepholes. Barrett, 48, of suburban Chicago, agreed to a 27-month prison sentence after pleading guilty, but it was up to the judge to decide how long he would serve.
Andrews asked the judge at the hearing for a harsher sentence.
