ESPN Reporter Pushes Tough Antistalking Bill
Victimized ESPN reporter Erin Andrews this week urged Congress to pass antistalking legislation that would toughen sentencing for those convicted of stalking and allow law enforcement to pursue stalking undertaken via cell phone or the Internet.
"I need people to know how serious this is and that laws need to be tougher," she said at a press conference on Capitol Hill Tuesday flanked by U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Congresswomen Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) and Virginia Fox (R-NC). "Penalties need to be stiffened."
