New and shocking allegations are still emerging in the $680 million sexual and physical abuse lawsuit brought against Yeshiva University by former students.

In court papers Monday, a lawyer for the 34 plaintiffs wrote that he received calls on Aug. 15 and Sept. 2 from two former students, who are not yet plaintiffs, with appalling stories.

The first caller claimed that in the mid-1980s, staffer George Finkelstein “constantly” used a “master key” to enter dorm rooms at the Yeshiva high school to accost students.

Finkelstein is accused in the suit of abusing students, but the key allegation is new.

The second caller claimed that around 1955, he was attacked by staffer Macy Gordon, who attempted for about 15 minutes to give the student a “mishey” — pinning a boy down and rubbing toothpaste over his genitals.
