Authorities say they have arrested the man who made illegal nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and posted them on the Internet. Michael David Barrett, 47, an insurance salesman from Westmont, Ill., faces federal interstate stalking charges after he allegedly followed Andrews across the country and filmed her in the nude several times using a cell phone camera and peepholes in her hotel-room doors. Barrett, whom prosecutors say has videoed other women, is free on $4,500 bail, but must wear a monitoring bracelet pending an Oct. 23 trial. He faces up to five years in prison.
