Two alumni of the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan have publicly raised previously unreported allegations of abuse against Jeffrey Epstein, who was a benefactor of the school.
The former students’ claims against the financier, including accusations of sexual misconduct and assault, surfaced during a two-year outside investigation into a long history of abuse at the arts boarding school and summer camp.
Beyond the new allegations involving Epstein, the inquiry resulted in a 97-page report that compiled abuse claims from dozens of alumni against 47 adults connected to the school from the 1950s through the 2010s.
