Interlochen Center for the Arts operates a summer camp and performing arts school that draws students from around the world. It hired a law firm in 2024 to investigate reports of sexual abuse by faculty and staff. Subsequently, it expanded the work to include information about Epstein, the 66-year-old financier who killed himself in jail in 2019.<\/p>\n

Interlochen removed Epstein\u2019s name from a lodge after he was convicted of sex offenses in Florida in 2008. The building, renamed the Green Lake Lodge, was\u00a0recently demolished\u00a0after the U.S. Justice Department released millions of pages about him that had been compiled over the years.<\/p>\n

Sanghavi Law Office says it collected 70 accounts from alumni alleging \u201cphysical conduct of a sexual nature\u201d by 47 faculty and staff members affiliated with Interlochen from the 1950s through the 2010s, most before 2000.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe information gathered during this investigation is, simply, devastating,\u201d the 97-page report says, noting that alumni reported grooming, flirting, sexual touching and sex.<\/p>\n

Interlochen said it has provided names of people accused of misconduct to Grand Traverse County authorities in northern Michigan to determine what steps, if any, might be taken. None are currently employed there, and more than a third are dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply sorry for the harm experienced by members of our community and extend our apologies to those impacted by abuse at Interlochen,\u201d president Trey Davey and board chair Barrett Rollins said in a letter to the community\u00a0posted online.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhile the vast majority of the incidents described in the investigation took place many decades ago, and reports of abuse at Interlochen have significantly decreased over the past 25 years, the passage of time does not diminish the experiences of our alumni,\u201d they said. \u201cSexual abuse committed by an adult in a position of power or trust against a student is wrong, then and now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interlochen today \u201cis fundamentally different from the institution described in this report,\u201d Davey and Rollins wrote, with comprehensive safety policies and a changed culture.<\/p>\n

Epstein, who played the bassoon, was an Interlochen camper in 1967. He donated more than $400,000 to the school between 1990 and 2003.<\/p>\n

Two women told investigators that Epstein engaged in conduct of a sexual nature with them, one of them at the Interlochen lodge that bore his name.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He brushed against her body \u201cover her clothes, in a manner in which he indicated was accidental,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n

Epstein also paid for her to visit him in New York while she was a student. She said \u201cevery time he was \u2018handsy\u2019 with her, she would freeze until he would stop,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n

The other woman said she gave Epstein a massage at his home, according to the report, and he may have asked her to remove her top. She never had any further contact with Epstein or his girlfriend,\u00a0Ghislaine Maxwell.<\/p>\n

Outside of the school investigation, at least two Interlochen alumnae made allegations of grooming and abuse against Epstein and Maxwell, according to federal records and media reports. Their identities were not made public.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

One testified against Maxwell in 2021 when she was convicted of sex trafficking. It\u2019s unclear whether those women spoke to the law firm hired for the Interlochen investigation.<\/p>\n
