Is there a asymmetric encryption scheme that allows for multiple private decryption keys?

where m= plaintext message and c= cyphertext message

c = Ek(m) where K is the public encryption key.

and

m = Dj(c) where J is the private decryption key.

nothing out of the ordinary here, RSA satisfies this basic scenario.

In addition I also want the message to be decrypted by any number of additional keys, ( Dj1 ... Djn ) such that:

eg.

m = Djn(c)

does such a scheme exist?

note: I am NOT referring to the way GPG/PGP broadcasts a message to many parties.

edit: looks to be similar to One Encryption, Many Decryption Keys

in particular see D.W.'s answer https://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/39403/29315
