In the docs, the feds claim Michael Barrett called 7 hotels in Columbus, Ohio on January 28 and 29 of 2008, trying to find out where she would be staying. The documents officially charge Barrett with 1 count of interstate stalking.
After striking gold with the Columbus Hotel, Barrett got a room next door to her, altered the peephole device and secretly shot video of Andrews.
Barrett then used the Internet to send the video to his email account.
Fast forward to July. He called 14 hotels in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and found where she was staying there. Again, he checked in, altered the peephole device in her room and shot video.
Then again on September 2, Barrett called a hotel, located Andrews' reservation, requested the room next door and on September 4 he altered the peephole and shot video of Andrews naked.
The email he sent the video to -- [email protected]. He eventually sent TMZ the video but we did not post it.
The feds say Barrett then posted the videos on a Google video account calling the video, "Erin Andrews Naked Butt."
TMZ received a statement from Barrett's lawyer, saying, "Mr. Barrett would like to express his deep regret for the circumstances that have caused the issuance of the charges against him today. It is his sincere hope that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible."
Seriously, how badly can there be such a breakdown in hotel security? Apparently, there were 8 separate occasions where this took place. If I'm Erin Andrews, I sue the hell out of these hotels, and I retire because I'm set for life.
I remember shortly after this happened, Inside Edition went ahead and set it up where Lisa Guerrero was going to stay in a few hotels, and they'd call and see if she was staying there. Each time, the hotel went ahead and gave up her whereabouts as to what room she was staying in.
