1. The plaintiff victims are suing the institutions, i.e. the yeshivos, not the individual abusers. There’s no big money to get from the individual abuser and no lawyer will waste his time suing an abuser who won’t be able to pay the judgement anyways. The big money is at the institutions. So they’ll sue the school into bankruptcy. For something that allegedly happened 40 years ago under a different administration, faculty and student body. And the victims will be the kinderlach in the school today who will lose their school.
2. It is assur to sue in arkois.
