The Westmont man accused of stalking and illegally filming ESPN reporter Erin Andrews will plead guilty to the charges. Michael Barrett could face up to five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 when he's sentenced. Barrett was charged with interstate stalking for, according to Chicago Breaking Sports, "renting hotel rooms adjacent to Andrews in three cities last year, altering the peepholes and shooting videos of Andrews in two of the locations." Barrett's attorney said, "He does accept full responsibility for his conduct. He apologizes to Ms. Andrews. It is his hope that these events can become an opportunity to make positive changes in his life." There's no word on when Barrett will be sentenced.
