Prosecutors reportedly said that there could be more victims in the Rabbi Barry Freundel mikveh peeping scandal at his hearing today in a Washington D.C. court.
Freundel was arrested nearly a month ago on charges that he secretly recorded women showing in the mikveh at his synagogue.
At the status hearing, government prosecutors told the judge that they were still investigating Freundel’s case, and were unprepared to offer a plea deal yet.
“There may be numerous victims we don’t know about,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Amy Zubrensky said, according to the Washington Post.
The Washington Post reported that one attorney representing a potential Freundel victim was present at the hearing.
