Already facing a $380 million sex-abuse lawsuit brought by
34 former students of its prestigious all-boys high school, Yeshiva University
on Monday was hit with two more such allegations — one dating back nearly 60
years.
Kevin Mulhearn, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, filed papers in
Manhattan federal court saying that he recently had received phone calls from
two other former students, who are not yet part of the lawsuit but who offered
their own horror stories.
One claims that in 1955, Rabbi Macy Gordon tried for 15
minutes to give him a “mishey” — a term for pinning a boy down and rubbing
toothpaste on his penis.
Gordon in the suit is accused of sodomizing one victim with
a toothbrush during a 1980 attack in a school dorm room.
The other ex-student alleges that another university staffer
charged in the suit, George Finkelstein, repeatedly used a master key to enter
dorm rooms in the mid-1980s to accost students.
The two ex-students say they complained to school officials
but were ignored, Mulhearn wrote.
