WASHINGTON (WJZ) — A once-prominent Orthodox rabbi who pleaded guilty to secretly videotaping scores of women in a changing room of a Jewish ritual bath was sentenced to 78 months behind bars on Friday.
Between early 2009 to October 2014, Rabbi Bernard Freundel used hidden cameras including one hidden in a clock radio, to record women in a shower area. Video clips show him setting up the cameras.
Prosecutors say he recorded more than 150 women labeling video clips with their names and initials.
On Friday, the judge ordered 45 days behind bars for each of the 52 counts against him.
