Prosecutors seek more time to find other victims in voyeurism case against rabbi
By Keith L. Alexander November 12
District prosecutors investigating the case of a Georgetown rabbi charged with secretly videotaping women using a ritual bath told a D.C. Superior Court judge Wednesday that they needed more time to determine whether there are any additional victims before deciding whether to offer a plea deal.
Barry Freundel stood next to his lawyer as Assistant U.S. Attorney Amy Zubrensky told the judge that her office needed more time to investigate the case, at which point they will determine what type of plea deal her office might offer.
Freundel, 62, was arrested in October and charged with six counts of misdemeanor voyeurism. He faces up to six years in prison in connection with accusations that he hid a mini-camera in a clock radio in the shower area and videotaped women using the ritual bath, known as a mikvah, at the Kesher Israel Congregation in Georgetown.
