Utah revokes license of Paris Hilton's former abusive boarding school

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The state of Utah has revoked the license of Provo Canyon School, a boarding facility where Paris Hilton alleges she experienced abuse as a teenager. The revocation, effective Monday, cites numerous health and safety violations, including inadequate staffing, improper restraints, and neglect of client care. Hilton, who spent nearly a year at the school in the late 1990s and has since advocated for reform, stated that the state's action confirms the long-standing claims of survivors and will protect children currently in the facility.
