American presenter gets MILLIONS after ‘peeping tom’ nude video leak
American sports presenter Erin Andrews has won just under €50 million in court after a stalker posted unsolicited nude videos of her online.
The 37-year-old sued both Michael Barrett for recording the videos as well as the Marriott in Nashville for allowing him to request a room next to the star without informing her.
Michael admitted to filming the former ESPN reporter through a "peephole" in the hotel for the purposes of selling the footage online.

The 48-year-old Chicago man is already serving 2 and a half years in prison after pleading guilty to stalking Erin and publishing the nude clips in 2009.
In heartbreaking scenes, Erin was seen breaking down in court as she described how the incident had affected her life and career.
"Probably for three months, people thought it was a publicity stunt," said the distressed Fox News presenter to the court.
"Everybody put up that I was doing it for publicity and attention and that ripped me apart."
The judge and jury decided that both Michael and the hotel were equally responsible for the incident and were ordered to pay out millions of dollars in damages.
