TOWSON, Md. (WJZ)—A volunteer at a synagogue says a former Towson University professor and rabbi accused of secretly recording some of his students treated it like a carwash and may have a thousand victims.

Investigative reporter Mike Hellgren has details on what happened when the rabbi appeared in court this morning.

Rabbi Barry Freundel is charged with six counts of voyeurism after police found a clock radio with a hidden camera in the shower area of a ritual bath at the Kesher Israel Congregation in Georgetown.

In court Wednesday, a synagogue volunteer said she knew dozens of Towson, University of Maryland and Georgetown students who went to the ritual bath.
