Erin Andrews at the 2009 MLB Home Run Derby

ESPN has sent a video to the blog NSFW POA after the site posted a peephole video of a nude woman in her hotel that was suspected to be sideline reporter Erin Andrews.

The video was posted yesterday without mention to ESPN or Andrews. Blogger Doug Sheckler posted the video with the title: "Hot naked blonde who looks a lot like a sports blogger favorite in her hotel room."

ESPN wasted no time in firing a missile at Sheckler from their legal team:

    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 [redacted]. 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.

It seems that ESPN was convienced enough that it was the popular Erin Andrews.  The video has seen been removed from the site, but thousands of men online are still trying to find the video or a cache of the site from yesterday where they can access it.

If the video was not staged and was in fact of Andrews or another unsuspecting female then it is wrong and should have never been posted.  ESPN, by their actions, seems to think that it was of Andrews and did the write thing, with the letter, protecting their asset.

UPDATE: It turns out that the woman in the peephole video was in fact Erin Andrews, and her attorney has issued a statement that she will file criminal and civil charges against whoever made the video along with those who published the material as well.

    "While alone in the privacy of her hotel room, Erin Andrews was surreptitiously videotaped without her knowledge or consent. She was the victim of a crime and is taking action to protect herself and help ensure that others are not similary violated in the future. Although the perpetrator or perpetrators of this criminal act have not yet been identified, when they are identified she intends to bring both civil and criminal charges against them and against anyone who has published the material. We request respect of Erin's privacy at this time, while she and her representatives are working with the authorities."

This case will for sure be very interesting to see how it will unfold
