Former Y.U. High School Students File $380M Suit Claiming Sex Abuse Cover-Up
Paul Berger of The Jewish Daily Forward reports 19 former students of Yeshiva University High School for Boys in Manhattan have filed a $380 million lawsuit accusing the school of covering up physical and sexual abuse. The alleged abuse took place in the 1970s and 1980s, during the time the school was enduring financial difficulties. One anonymous victim told The Forward: “This was always about money, that’s why they buried this in the first place.”
