Washington, DC – Appeals court to hear case of rabbi who videotaped women at bath

0

A Washington appeals court is hearing the case of an Orthodox rabbi who secretly videotaped women undressing and using a changing room at a Jewish ritual bath for years. Rabbi Bernard Freundel’s lawyer is expected to argue that Freundel’s 6.5 year prison sentence is illegal and should have been limited to one year. In 2014, Freundel was arrested after one of his recording devices was found at the National Capital Mikvah in Washington. Prosecutors discovered he filmed around 150 women using recording devices that were hidden in a clock radio, a fan and a tissue box holder. Freundel acknowledged that he secretly recorded women at the mikvah from 2009 to 2014 and ultimately took a plea deal.
