TOWSON, Md. (WJZ) -- Disgraced rabbi Barry Freundel is stepping down from his post at Towson University.

A university spokesperson confirms the rabbi turned in his resignation letter on Thursday, Feb. 26.

Freundel admits to using hidden cameras to record dozens of women in a ritual bath known as a Mikveh.

Prosecutors say he recorded more than 150 women, labeling video clips with their names and initials.

Freundel was a professor at both Georgetown and Towson universities; many of his victims were students.

His resignation from Towson is effective March 27, 2015.
