'My childhood was stolen from me': Paris Hilton claims she was sexually abused at Utah boarding school for troubled teens as tearful star says she wants to 'protect other innocent kids'
Daily Mail UK ^ | October 12, 2021 | Eve Buckland

Paris Hilton has claimed she was sexually abused after being forced to undergo cervical exams performed by staff members in the early hours of the morning while attending a Utah boarding school for troubled teens in the 1990s.

The reality star, 41, said her childhood was 'stolen' by the alleged abuse at Provo Canyon School where she spent 11 months when she was 17 years old.

Speaking to the New York Times, Paris, who has campaigned to regulate 'troubled teen centers' since initially going public in 2020 with alleged physical and mental abuse incidents at the school in 2020, said she had tried to 'black out' the reported incidents.

She said: 'Very late at night – this would be around three or four in the morning – they would take myself and other girls into this room, and they would perform medical exams.

'This wasn't even with a doctor. It was with a couple different staff members, where they would have us lay on the table and put their fingers inside of us. And I don't know what they were doing, but it was definitely not a doctor and it was really scary

'It was really scary, and it’s something that I really had blocked out for many years. But it’s coming back all the time now, and I think about it. And now, looking back as an adult, that was definitely sexual abuse.'

Paris further detailed the alleged incidents on Twitter, writing: 'Sleep-deprived & heavily medicated, I didn't understand what was happening.

'I was forced to lie on a padded table, spread my legs & submit to cervical exams. I cried while they held me down & said,"No!" They just said, "Shut up. Be quiet. Stop struggling or you'll go to Obs."'

Allegedly “stupid” parents have their reasons to send a child to one of these places.

A friend of our family sent their daughter to such a place when she was 15. They said she was out of control. Drinking, drugs, boys, staying out all night, trouble at school, etc. So they sent her away.

She came back and was better behaved and was seemingly in a better place. She then started going to community college and trying to do something productive in life.

I thank God everyday, that my own children were never problem teenagers, and my wife and I never had to be confronted with an out of control teen.

I have sympathy for our friends who did have an out of control daughter, and were at their wits end about what the hell to do with her. Their daughter’s life seems to be better having gone to one of those places.

Is there ANY Celebrity, (or would-be celebrity) who doesn’t claim to have been a victim of sexual abuse as a child?

True, or has she just been out of the limelight too much and is seeking some new publicity??? One wonders.

What is the statue of limitations for child molestation? Find the people and take them down. Especially before Biden befriends them and brings them in to his group of dirty chomos.

There are many of the “Bataan Death March” schools in UT and AZ. Long forced marches, sleeping with just one blanket (if earned) on bare ground - crappy food and very little of it. The list goes on. Plenty of court cases ion line should you ever wish to dig them up.

Some see this method of “teaching” as discipline - others see it as criminal behavior.

My surprise is that the student victims don’t come back and extract revenge on these toads.

“ My time has been wasted viewing your media life and reparations as justified.”

I have no idea what that means, but if you are talking about me there’s an easy fix.

Don’t read my comments.

What a bunch of heartless bs! Kids don’t come into this world with a hand book. If it was traumatizing to her, then it was traumatizing! I’ve know boys sent to military schools who were raped. It messed them up for life! Rich or poor, it doesn’t matter. Children don’t have the cognitive ability to handle such abuse!

"The thing is, you can’t really understand the abuse that went on in these places unless you read or listen to some of these stories."

I'd understand and possibly believe if other kids had or have come forward about this same school, same abusive individuals, causing an intensive investigation to have been conducted, and people charged. One person making allegations does not make it factual, especially when it isn't reported until years later. Color me skeptical about individuals who wait 30+ years to disclose alleged criminal acts against them. They are not victims. The victims are the ones they could have saved by coming forward.

Not all and I should not have to say “not all” but the majority of these schools are crap as are the parents.

I have first hand experience with one of these schools.

Look daily FReepers post about how bad the public schools are so what makes you think these unregulated private boarding schools are not going to have problems if the regulated ones have problems like a flash flood.

I know very well Paris was wild but then again, look at her parents not exactly Ward and June Cleaver. None of them checked up on her after sending her there and they had the money to fly there, they owned the hotel so I don’t want to hear about why they couldn’t do it.

It’s not enough to dump your kid there but to check up on them after they are there. If the public schools can harm your kid in just 8 hours what can a boarding school do in 24/7 for a whole year sometimes longer?

Was she a willing underage participant, coming lately to the #metoo movement? Or truly a victim? I guess some compassion is not wasted, just in case.
