Sportscaster Erin Andrews has been awarded $55 million in her lawsuit over a secretly videotaped recording that captured her naked, ABC News reports.

Andrews had originally sought $75 million in the case.

The Fox Sports host had sued the owner of the Nashville, Tennessee, hotel where she was taped via a peephole. She also sued Michael David Barrett, the man who recorded the video in 2008 by tampering with the peephole of Andrews’ room.

The owners of the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University had contended that Barrett’s actions were his own, and that they bore no responsibility.

Barrett was sentenced to 30 months on an interstate stalking charge in 2010.
