Paris Hilton (41) has confessed to the shocking sexual harassment she suffered from a male staff member when she was studying at a boarding school in Utah. Paris and other female students were called to a private room in the middle of the night, put on a bed, and subjected to a cervical examination.
Paris has been protesting 2020, where she first confessed to being the victim of abuse, and is calling for the school to be closed.
In August 2020, Paris Hilton distributed the documentary “This Is Paris” on her YouTube channel, in which she confessed that she was severely abused at Provo Canyon School, a boarding school in Utah, where she was 17 years old.

According to Paris, at the time, physical violence was a daily occurrence in addition to mental torture, such as being yelled at loudly. During his 11 months at the school, he once planned to escape but was tipped off and was held in solitary confinement as punishment. Looking back on those days, she said, “I had panic attacks and cried every day. I felt like a prisoner.
Two years after her shocking confession, on the 11th (local time), Paris candidly revealed the details of the sexual abuse she had suffered at the hands of a male staff member at her school.
Paris appeared in a video published by “The New York Times” and said, “It was around 3 or 4 in the morning. They took me and the other girls to another room and did a physical examination,” she confessed.
They were not doctors, however, but several employees, she said. Paris said, “We were laid on a table and they put their fingers in us. I didn’t understand what they were doing, but I was sure they were not doctors,” she revealed.
She added, “I was really scared and this has been sealed away for many years. Now it comes back and I think about it. Now that I’m an adult, looking back, that was definitely sexual abuse,” she revealed.
On the same day, Paris shared the media article on her Twitter account, writing, “I confessed something I’ve never told anyone: At Provo Canyon School, I was woken up in the middle of the night by a male employee who took me to a private room and performed a cervical exam,” she continued.
She continued, “Due to the lack of sleep and the large amount of medication I was on, I didn’t understand what was happening. I was forced to lie on a padded table, spread my legs, and undergo a cervical examination. I cried as I was held down and said, ‘No!’ ‘ I said. They just said, ‘Shut up. Be quiet. Don’t struggle. Or you’re going to the observation room.'”
She added, “This was an experience repeated not only by me, but by other survivors as well. My childhood was taken from me and I am heartbroken that this is still happening to innocent children,” she wrote.
She concluded, “It was important for me to open up about this painful event in order to end this kind of abuse,” and asked for support for a protest movement demanding that the school be closed.
After Paris first confessed to the abuse in 2020, the school issued a statement saying, “Provo Canyon School was sold by its previous owners in August 2000. Therefore, we are unable to comment on its previous operations or the experiences of its victims,” it said.
In October of the same year, Paris, along with others who had been victims of abuse at similar schools in the past, organized a protest movement and demanded that the school be closed. In February of the following year, she attended a public hearing at the Utah State Capitol, where she shared her own experiences at the school and lobbied for passage of a bill (SB127) that would make similar youth rehabilitation facilities more strictly regulated.
This time, Paris published several photos of the protest on her Instagram, writing to the school, “I demand that you take action in good faith and close Provo Canyon School by April 1, 2023 (the first day of National Child Abuse Prevention Month).
