The boarding school where world-famous heiress Paris Hilton confessed to being subjected to beatings, torture, and abuse during her teenage years has been shut down by the state government for endangering student safety. After years of a legal battle fought alone by the famous star, the school's license was revoked and its doors locked following her allegations.
The license of Provo Canyon School in Utah, where Paris Hilton—daughter of Hilton hotel owners Richard and Kathy Hilton and one of the most popular figures in the tabloid world—admitted to experiencing physical and psychological abuse during her adolescence, has been officially revoked by a decision of the state government. The Utah Department of Health and Human Services reported that the institution endangered the safety and health of its students.
AMBULANCE NOT CALLED FOR SEVERELY INJURED STUDENT
In an official statement by state authorities, it was decided to safely evacuate all children residing on the campus and to completely halt all activities at the facility. Inspection reports from supervisors revealed numerous serious violations, including the school administration failing to call an ambulance for a severely injured student, using disproportionate force and aggressive physical restraint against children, and not conducting timely background checks on hired personnel.
“NO INSTITUTION IS TOO POWERFUL TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE”
Paris Hilton, 45, who spent about a year at this facility in the late 1990s and revealed that she was beaten, forcibly medicated, and locked in a cell there, expressed great relief after the decision. Having sought justice through legal channels following her significant trauma and having worked intensively in Washington for the past three years, the famous star continues to pressure the House of Representatives to fully enact legislation aimed at preventing the abuse of children in institutions. Stating that she will continue her fight by saying, “No institution is too powerful to be held accountable,” Hilton's current management of the school avoided commenting on the allegations, claiming that the facility has new ownership.
