A prominent US rabbi has pleaded guilty to 52 counts of voyeurism after secretly filming women in his congregation’s ritual baths.
Barry Freundel, 63, may have recorded as many as 150 women in the changing area at his orthodox synagogue in Washington DC.
The women were disrobing for the ritual Jewish bath, known as a mikvah.
He has confessed to recording at least 52 nude or partially nude women. Prosecutors say he should be jailed.
They say the actual number of women filmed is likely to have been much higher.
