Erin Andrews Stalker Gets 2 1/2 Years

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.

According to a legal expert, Chelsea FC football player in London, Ashley Cole, may plead racial discrimination, in the face of a massive forthcoming fine, for smuggling in women to team hotels, during away games, when cheating on his wife, faux singer, Cheryl Cole.

The Judiciary Report, who is no fan of Cheryl's, is of the belief, it would be inappropriate for Cole to cite any racism in this instance, as he clearly violated club rules that apply to all Chelsea FC team members, irrespective of their skin tone and ethnic background.

Through two incidents, via a newspaper tell-all and a separate outing of an affair on a message board, it was revealed Cole broke team rules in sneaking women into his hotel rooms during official play.
