Rabbi Bernard Freundel, Who Spied On Women Taking Ritual Baths At DC Synagogue Released From Prison Early Amid COVID-19 Pandemic
WASHINGTON, DC (WJZ) -- A former rabbi who secretly videotaped nude women at a Jewish ritual bath in Washington has been released early from prison amid the coronavirus pandemic.
68-year-old Bernard Freundel got released Wednesday 551 days earlier than his original sentence.
His sentence has been reduced mostly by repeatedly taking a job training course.
He also got an extra two weeks off his sentence because of coronavirus concerns.
Freundel had been sentenced to over six years in prison in 2015.
