TV Star Gets £38m After Stalker Films Her Nude

A TV sports presenter who was secretly recorded by a stalker while nude in a hotel room has been awarded $55m (£38m) by a jury.Erin Andrews, a Fox Sports reporter who also co-hosts Dancing With The Stars, had told the trial that she was left humiliated and depressed when the video was uploaded online, where it continues to be viewed by millions of people.
She had filed a lawsuit for $75m (£52m) against the man who filmed her, Michael David Barrett, as well as the two companies which owned the hotel where the harassment took place in 2008.
After deliberating for a full day, a jury decided Barrett was responsible for 51% of the blame and the compensation, while the hotel firms should share the rest.
Barrett has already served two-and-a-half years in prison after he confessed to altering peepholes and deceiving the hotel's staff to learn Andrews' room number and request the room next door.
