Erin Andrews Peephole

Last week Erin Andrews, the knockout blond ESPN reporter, made it to the headlines when she got hit by a foul ball while covering a baseball game. Today she is on top of the news again because of what others call the Erin Andrews peephole video. The video was uploaded to a website that is for mature audiences only, NSFWpoa.com. The woman in the video was not identified in the site as Erin Andrews but the way the video is described is obviously alluding to Andrews, "Hot naked blonde who looks a lot like a sports blogger favorite in her hotel room." Of course ESPN lawyers did not let this pass, and wrote a letter to the NSFWpoa.com admin, Doug Sheckler. Here is the letter of ESPN attorney David Pahl :

I am the General Counsel of ESPN, Inc. It has come to my attention that you have posted on your site pictures of a young, blonde woman at http://www.nsfwpoa.com/2009/07/hot-naked-blonde-who-looks-lot-like.html. These pictures were obviously taken through a peephole or otherwise in a fashion constituting a trespass/assault on the rights of the woman involved. Your continued posting of these pictures are highly likely to render you an accessory after the fact to a criminal act. We hereby demand that you (i) immediately remove these pictures from your site and (ii) disclose to us the source of the pictures. We intend to hold you fully responsible for further display of material that so obviously violates the law.

Please confirm by return e-mail that you intend to comply with these demands. In the absence of such confirmation we will assume you are an active and willing participant in these acts.

David Pahl

Of course the effect was the immediate removal of the video from site. So don't mind heading to that site because you won't see it there.
