Investigation Revealed 'Devastating' Reports of Sexual Misconduct at School Supported by Epstein
- On Tuesday, an independent report from Massachusetts-based Sanghavi Law Office detailed 70 firsthand accounts of sexual misconduct by 47 adults associated with Interlochen Center for the Arts, spanning the 1950s through the 2010s.
- The Interlochen Board commissioned the review in 2024 following allegations against longtime music faculty member Byron Hanson, later expanding the scope to include financier Jeffrey Epstein.
- Epstein, who donated more than $400,000 to the school, was accused of sexual contact by two alumni, while other firsthand accounts detailed grooming and assault by faculty and staff.
- Interlochen President Trey Devey and Board Chair Barrett Rollins apologized for the "absolutely heartbreaking" abuse, stating the school provided names of the accused to the Grand Traverse County Prosecutor.
- Declaring that "Interlochen today is fundamentally different," leadership noted that none of the 47 accused individuals remain employed and the school has implemented mandatory reporting and background checks.
