Investigation Reveals Sexual Misconduct Allegations at Interlochen Arts School Including Epstein Link

Investigation Reveals Sexual Misconduct Allegations at Interlochen Arts School Including Epstein LinkPreviousNext

An investigation at Interlochen Center for the Arts revealed 70 alumni accounts alleging sexual misconduct by 47 faculty and staff members from the 1950s to 2010s, with most incidents occurring before 2000. The inquiry also included allegations against Jeffrey Epstein, a former donor convicted of sex offenses in 2008. Interlochen has apologized, removed Epstein's name from a lodge, and is cooperating with authorities. The report described the findings as "devastating," and none of the accused are currently employed there.
