UPDATE: A Chicago-area man arrested at O'Hare airport who is accused of taping surreptitious nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews was due to appear in federal court late Saturday morning, authorities said.
Michael David Barrett was arrested Friday night as he arrived on a flight from Buffalo, N.Y., the FBI said. He faces federal charges of interstate stalking for taking the videos, trying to sell them to celebrity Web site TMZ and posting the videos online, the FBI said in a statement.
MONDAY UPDATE: Prosecutors say a suburban Chicago man accused of secretly making nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews apparently also uploaded videos of other women to the Internet. Federal prosecutor Steve Grimes said Monday the videos were shot through hotel peepholes and uploaded under an online name used by 47-year-old Michael David Barrett. Barrett is accused of videotaping Andrews nude by aiming a cell phone camera through an altered peephole in the door of her hotel room. U.S. Magistrate Judge Arlander Keys on Monday ordered Barrett released with an electronic monitoring bracelet on his ankle and barred Barrett from using the Internet. Barrett's attorney says the allegations aren't true. He is next due in court in Los Angeles on Oct. 23.

Peep hole video of ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews, naked in her hotel room, has been flashing across the internet.
The video caused the Internet to explode with searches of the popular reporter.
After the video was leaked, ESPN and Andrews' attorney quickly said the tape was unauthorized and she would be pressing charges once the perpetrators were caught.
Now, TMZ is reporting that there are signs the person who taped it may be connected with the coverage of athletic events. Four of the clips were shot in the same hotel. The remaining two were shot in a different hotel. In the first hotel, the peephole is round. In the second hotel, the peephole is jagged. The furniture in the two hotel rooms is completely different. In the first set of videos, Andrews is naked, curling her hair while looking into a mirror. It appears all four clips are from the same video. In the second set of clips, Andrews is also naked, ironing a pair of pants.The videos raise the suspicion the person who shot them may have been familiar with her work schedule and may have been traveling with her.
USA Today is reporting that hackers are unleashing a computer virus to those looking for the video. Many Web sites are claiming to have the footage, however, when a user clicks on the supposed link to the video it actually releases a virus into your computer system.
"Hackers are no slacks when it comes to taking advantage of a hot Internet search trend, and they have been quick to set up bogus Web pages claiming to contain the video footage of Ms. Andrews in her hotel room," Graham Cluley of network security company Sophos told USA Today.
Andrews has been named Playboy's sexiest sportscaster for two straight years.
According to the New York Post , the people behind the video are now reportedly trying to sell it to the highest bidder.
