The state of Utah has revoked the license of a boarding school where socialite Paris Hilton said she was abused as a teenager. The Provo Canyon School’s campus in Springville had multiple noncompliance issues, including failing to provide applicable health and safety services for clients.

Allegations of Abuse and Neglect

The wide-ranging citations, which go back to 2025, include failing to increase staff-to-client ratios, engaging in unnecessary restraint and aggressive physical contact with a client, neglecting care, and not verifying employee information or submitting background checks for applicants in a timely manner. State health officials imposed temporary restrictions on the school in May, saying staff did not seek immediate medical care for a student with serious injuries.

Paris Hilton, who spent almost a year at the school in the late 1990s, alleges staff members beat her, watched her shower, fed her unknown pills, and locked her in solitary confinement without clothing. Hilton has testified about her experiences at the school in Congress and state legislatures around the U.S., helping pass laws to protect teens in Utah and 15 other states.

The school is under new ownership, and the administration has said it can’t comment on anything that came before the change, including Hilton’s time there. The state said in its letter that all services at the campus must be terminated by August 6.
