The $680 million sexual-abuse lawsuit brought forth by 34 former
Yeshiva University prep school students against the Washington Heights
institution has been tossed out.
Manhattan Federal Judge John Koeltl
ruled Thursday the claims in the lawsuit are barred by statutes of
limitation because the alleged abuse by Yeshiva University High School
staff occurred decades ago. The decision infuriated the plaintiffs, who
plan to appeal. [...]
The state statute for negligence is three years from the time of injury and Koeltl applied the same limit to the sexual-harassment claim the plaintiffs brought under federal law. [...]
Yeshiva University is “gratified that the federal court recognized the validity of our arguments,” the school said.
