Erin Andrews Awarded $55 Million in Spycam Lawsuit

The jury has awarded Erin Andrews $55 million in her civil lawsuit over the secret recording and release of a video showing her naked during a hotel stay.

The sportscaster's original suit asked for $75 million from the owner and operator of the Nashville, Tennessee, hotel where she was staying, and Michael David Barrett, the stalker who used a hacksaw to tamper with her room's peephole and record the video in 2008.

The jurors took photos with Andrews after the amount was announced, and she signed autographs, according to reports from inside the courtroom. more

This puts ALL organizations with "expectation of privacy areas" on notice. 

Due diligence inspections for spy cameras, and having a Recording in the Workplace Policy, are your defense.
