The NYT article lists some of the accusers and the accusations he is accused of:  

Maddie Corman 16 years old

Jocelyn Meinhardt 19 years old

Frédérique Giffard 16 year old au pair in Horovitz's home

Maia Ermansons 21 years old

Mr. Horovitz’s behavior around women had long been the subject of whispers. But since at least 1993, Gloucester Stage officials had known it was more than mere speculation: that year, Mr. Horovitz was the subject of an exposé in The Boston Phoenix in which 10 women accused him of sexual harassment and assault. The women’s names were not disclosed in the article. At the time the board’s president, Barry Weiner, dismissed the accusations and described some of the women speaking out against Mr. Horovitz as “tightly wound.” 

Last week, the theater cut ties with Mr. Horovitz after learning of the accusations by Ms. Ermansons.
