WASHINGTON (WUSA9) — A rabbi who admitted to secretly videotaping dozens of women in a Jewish ritual bath was sentenced to six and a half years Friday.

Rabbi Bernard “Barry” Freundel pleaded guilty to 52 voyeurism charges in February.

Prosecutors want Freundel to be sent to prison for at least 17 years. Freundel’s lawyer has asked that his client only do community service, not go to prison.
