" segment tonight as you may know ESPN's forecaster Erin Andrews had her privacy grossly violated when a man spied on her. In some hotel rooms photographing her without clothing and then posting the images on the net. Yet BI has now arrested 47 year old Michael Barrett an insurance man from Illinois -- is charged with inter state -- The center analyzed former district attorney -- host of the syndicated television program Judge Judy here YE a promotion of -- little. You know real judge yes I love you don't you work ethic and Marlins yeah just those jobs are right I think this guy is as is disturbed guy. Any peeping Tom is so weird -- okay you would say that anybody who. Practices spying and stalking people and I'm not saying that I'm not saying it would any kind of jocular but anybody who does that -- Mentally some."

" yet anyone who doesn't go I'm concerned about what the next step it's you know here's a guy who did the videos and then tried to -- to GMC. And I suspect that although there's one initial charge there will be additional charges and that -- this accusatory instrument at the end of the day. I worry about guys like -- a lot of people start this way and then and then they -- on murder and on all of that so okay so that is so it's a federal case because -- Traveled across state lines to stop -- Sanders right and it was interstate commerce he used the Internet and the crimes actually occurred in Milwaukee and and the other one occurred in Nashville Tennessee. And so what you've got a good -- different prosecutions and and stay. But at the end of the day it's interstate and since he was intending clearly to stalk her -- subject -- to embarrassment. You know the feds came in and they're gonna put it all together I suspect they'll be more charges --"

" He could -- five years. For this kind of thing is that a fair sense -- is any record or any kind of these with the law prior to this five years."

" Well I think in terms of what happened this was a year long if you read the accusatory instrument it was a year long in terms of his stalking her. All I think it probably deserves more than five but we're just at the beginning of these kinds of crimes bill what you'll see is in future years. They'll be more of a movement toward increasing the penalties if you do what more -- one time made the penalty should be longer but right now the five years is basically if you -- that he."

" Thank you say we give him five year we you know it now I don't think he's gonna get -- because is Clinton. He's right he didn't do anything before and he's a metal case now the hotels here's what happened to hotels -- The Marriott is in Tennessee. Is that a guy we have figures out that she's gonna be stand at the Marriott hotel -- calls a hotel for reservation. And -- welcome a friend of Erin Andrews can you put -- next door and on and I'll tell us as yet. Now wait if it sounds stupid but customer service if you asked what it wants and if somebody on an airplane -- my friend is senate they."

" Often do that. You know what and that's scary because when you think about it a hotel room was really a home away from home and the white Erin Andrews this photograph of me she could just as well stayed in Times Square -- they have -- Naked in her hotel room but hotels have to follow some kind of standard. They should not confirm or deny that your even in the hotel they should not allow a stranger to call and say I wanna be next door to -- Andrews. I mean you know as far as I'm concerned these hotels -- civilly liable for the harassment and whether stalking that occurred."

" So so if you're Imus and his lawyer you would say. Sue the hotels because they didn't protect your practice not only did they not protect her privacy they were complicit in violating an in his -- pretty tough though because again -- what they're trying to do is accommodate their guests in but."

" Yeah it would -- why is it that you would -- the stranger. The woman number put him next door in and -- down the hall what we're sexual per minute thirty assaulted her I mean the heat they would be justifiable. Hotels should have a bill of rights for hotel guests right it says we're not gonna identify that you're even here we're not gonna tell people what will floor your --"

" almost -- tell us do that. Now. I can't figure out how to guy again in --"

" what he did was the other -- fell under and he had some kind of mechanism that pulled out the cylinder and installed a different ones so that he could generally any. We weird -- I heard and that's why I'm signing these guys go to the next level it's a little with a low tech. Non G we have these days -- you can you can do unbelievable things to intrude upon somebody else even didn't do it -- locked hotel room -- a lot hotel room and the concern is it's not just Aaron -- in this case this guy could have been all over the place scary was all over the."

" Does -- say they got is computer."

" And he's got pictures of other women and Aaron all of the hate this guy -- it was his hobby well -- he was a traveling salesman and by the -- bill one of the towns and it was Nashville he called seventeen hotels until we fell about which hotels -- and I was Milwaukee still wasn't -- gallery walking."

" Scary when."

" Lots of stalkers do I mean then you're -- just crazy all right so let's recap the thing the FBI -- disguised as a federal -- He faces five you don't think he's gonna get files if you -- her attorney you would -- that both hotels that this took place."

" Without a doubt and if I were Erin Andrews I would get ahead of a movement that fights for the rights of individuals -- go into hotels. Make sure that there are guidelines make sure that there's a Bill Carter Sanders had a salute -- let's get."

" Judy thanks very much we appreciate if you look in the new season. --"
