An Orthodox rabbi accused of recording women in the ritual bath area has been fired from his synagogue in Georgetown.
Rabbi Barry Freundel is charged with six counts of voyeurism. He arrested in October, when he was accused of recording at least several women at a ritual bath next to the Kesher Israel Orthodox Synagogue.
A witness said Freundel installed a camera disguised as a digital clock radio in the showering and changing area of the National Capital Mikvah, and pointed the device at the shower.
Freundel was the rabbi at the Kesher Israel Orthodox synagogue in Georgetown, which is affiliated with the mikvah. He was suspended from the synagogue after the allegations surfaced.
