Nabbing the culprit behind the Erin Andrews peephole pictures
Is it possible to catch and punish the person who shot video of the ESPN reporter naked in her hotel room?

The search is on for the sicko behind the Erin Andrews peephole pictures, said Gossip Jackal. For those living under a rock, someone posted the Andrews peephole video on the Internet after shooting the footage of the ESPN sportscaster standing naked in a hotel room. Another legal question is what to do about websites that posted the video and used the link to infect users' computers with malicious spyware.
"Amateur sleuths are out to catch the culprit," said Dashiell Bennett in Deadspin, although that doesn't mean justice will be served. It should be relatively easy to track the source of the Erin Andrews peephole video. "But turning that online persona into an actual real world person that police can club with a baton is much more difficult."
The real bad guy is still on the loose, said John Gonzalez in The Philadelphia Inquirer, but bloggers are already being punished for pointing viewers to the Erin Andrews peephole pictures. Deadspin—a wildly popular sports blog that hypes all news about the gorgeous Andrews—has been singled out for some harsh criticism for posting a link to a previously unknown blog that put up the Andrews video. The "anti-blog militia" wants someone to take the fall for this invasion of Andrews' privacy—let's just hope it's the real culprit—and not valuable blogs like Deadspin—who pays.
Don't worry, said Alex Akita in Seattle Sportsnet, ESPN is on "a head-hunting mission to take down all perpetrators" behind the Erin Andrews peephole video. ESPN plans to sue and push criminal charges against the amateur cameraman, "and it’s only a matter of time until they catch the guy." And, sorry, "I don’t know where you can get the video" while waiting for news that justice has been done.

Posted by PJ, Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 12:32 pm Sorry, but I find it disgusting that all the comments here are about trying to find and watch this video. Doesn't anyone care that this woman's privacy was violated? Here you are, all hot and bothered and making sure to keep her embarrassment alive. What a bunch of jerks.
Posted by TJ, Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 1:43 pm Give me a break. Her entire career is based on her sex appeal. You don't think ESPN capitalizes on that? These days almost all of the entertainers and socalled journalists out there are just golorified spokesmodels. I'm not saying she deserved to have this happen to her, but is anyone REALLY surprised about this? Peepholes have been around for as long as women have been undressing in private.
Posted by jon, Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 2:18 pm hell yeah.. i been rubbing one out on her videos all day!
Posted by Jeff, Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 3:59 pm Sicko nothing...these Erin Andrews peephole videos are so obviously staged. She might as well have taped an X on the floor to better indicate where she should stand for best vantage point of the 'peephole camera'. She even looks toward the camera and flexes her butt toward the lens on a few occasions.It's most likely some sort of consensual voyeurism fantasy between Andrews and a current or exboyfriend. It got out on the 'net, and rather than be branded as the female Marv Albert she went to the 'victim' card.
