Erin Andrews
Michael David Barrett, the sexual predator that criminally stalked and and perversely recorded ESPN sportscaster, Erin Andrews nude in her hotel room, without her knowledge, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison and ordered to pay $7,366 in restitution.
Andrews was not happy with the sentence, believing he deserves more time in prison and she is right. As it was his first offense and no act of violence was involved, it was most likely the best the prosecutor could do, under established sentencing guidelines.
However, it was reported he engaged in this misconduct against a dozen other women. If he was prosecuted for each victim, he could spend the next two decades behind bars. He should also be forced to register as a sex offender.
