COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Federal investigators say an Illinois insurance executive accused of secretly making nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews shot film at an unspecified hotel in Columbus as well as in Nashville.

Michael Barrett, of Westmont, Ill., was due in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Friday to face one count of interstate stalking. He is free on $4,500 bond.

Court documents filed Wednesday say the 48-year-old Barrett made a video of Andrews after altering the peephole in her Columbus hotel room door in February 2008. He's accused of making several videos in Nashville in September 2008. The documents say he also altered a peephole at a hotel where Andrews was staying in Milwaukee.

Federal prosecutors say he uploaded the videos to the Internet and tried to sell them to celebrity gossip site TMZ.
