LOS ANGELES (AP) _ An Illinois insurance executive accused of
secretly making nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews is
scheduled for arraignment in a Los Angeles federal courtroom.
Michael Barrett is set to be arraigned Monday on one count of
interstate stalking.
The 48-year-old Barrett is free after posting a
higher-than-expected bond Friday of $100,000. Judge U.S. Magistrate
Judge Carolyn Turchin set the amount after Andrews' attorney called
Barrett's alleged behavior calculated, cunning and secretive and
said he posed a threat to the public.
Prosecutors say Barrett found hotels where Andrews was staying
three times last year. They say he rented an adjacent room, altered
the peephole and shot videos of Andrews.
Barrett's attorney has said his client has no criminal record
and has deep regret for the circumstances that have prompted the
charges.
