Prosecutor Asks for Delay in Georgetown Rabbi Voyeurism Case

The Washington, D.C. prosecutor in the case of a Georgetown rabbi accused of voyeurism asked for more time Wednesday to see if there are more victims before making their next legal move, The Washington Post reported.

The accused, Barry Freundel, was in a D.C. courtroom Wednesday as Assistant U.S. Attorney Amy Zubrensky asked a judge for more time to investigate the case.

In addition to women visiting the Georgetown synagogue where Freundel allegedly secretly videotaped women who were undressed while using Kesher Israel Congregation’s ritual bath or mikvah, there may also have been university students who were spied on. Freundel was a professor at Towson University and encouraged his students to come to the synagogue.

Freundel faces up to six years in prison. Another hearing was scheduled for Jan. 16.
