In 2008 Andrews visited Nashville to cover a Vanderbilt University football game. In her lawsuit, filed two years later, Andrews accuses the hotel and others of allowing David Barrett, then 50, to book rooms next to hers, rig peepholes and film videos of her changing clothes.

Court documents say Barrett then posted those videos on the Internet.

How has celebrity stalking changed since Erin Andrews peeper?

Andrews is suing Marriott International, Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University, Windsor Capital Group and Barrett. Her lawsuit accuses Marriott of negligence, infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy.

Barrett was arrested in 2009, pleaded guilty to stalking and shooting the nude videos and was sentenced in 2010 to 30 months in prison. He now lives in Oregon.

The jury trial is expected to last 10 days. Much of the pretrial work, including motions that could reveal more details about the case, have been filed under seal.

It will be heard before Nashville Judge Hamilton Gayden. Jury selection begins at 9 a.m. Monday.
