Yeshiva University may have kept its insurance company in the dark about allegations of sex abuse at its all-boys prep school, a letter obtained by the Daily News reveals.

And Yeshiva has continued to withhold information from the insurer in the wake of a $380 million lawsuit brought by former students, the letter suggests.

More than 30 men are claiming they were molested by faculty members at the Yeshiva University Hig h School for Boys between 1969 and 1989.

Yeshiva declined to comment because the lawsuit is pending.

But the Aug. 13 letter from AIG to a Yeshiva lawyer sheds at least a small ray of light on the case.
