In our last episode about the prolific sexual abuse committed and covered up at Yeshiva University we laid out the history of the case, previously filed lawsuits, Yeshiva University's sham investigation into these historical allegations of sexual abuse, and why the previous cases were unsuccessful. With the passage of the Child Victims Act in 2019, however, the alleged victims of Macy Gordon, George Finkelstein, Richard Andron, and others, were finally able to file their cases against Yeshiva University for knowingly enabling their abuse.

In this episode we get into a little more detail about all the people named in the lawsuit, and discuss some of the disgusting tactics that have been used so far to try and intimidate the victims into silence. Among other tactics, Yeshiva University has attempted to forcibly identify the names of the John Doe plaintiffs in this case in an attempt to scare them away from suing. This is a particularly disgusting tactic especially given how much the victims have already suffered and how widely known Yeshiva University's culpability is in these cases. This case is not a question of if something happened, but how much Yeshiva University will be made to pay. They just want to make the victims suffer as much as possible before paying them what they're owed.
