Police searching the Towson University office of professor Barry Freundel found a backpack that was filled with tiny cameras that were hidden in common objects, including a box of tissues and a clock, according to The Washington Post.

Additionally, police, who filed for a search warrant in Maryland, found flash drives and memory cards, as well as a hand-written list of names and a naked picture of a woman.

Freundel is accused of placing a hidden camera in a ritual bath at his Kesher Israel synagogue in Washington, D.C. His office was located in the College of Liberal Arts.

Since his arrest, Freundel has been suspended from Towson as well as his synagogue.

Director of University Communications Ray Feldmann said there is “absolutely” no evidence at this time that suggests a crime was committed on Towson’s campus.
