Two alumni from the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan have come forward with previously unreported abuse allegations against Jeffrey Epstein while he was a benefactor of the school.
The alumni's allegations against the financier, which include claims of sexual misconduct and assault, emerged during a two-year external investigation into a history of abuse at the arts boarding school and summer camp.
In addition to the new accounts about Epstein, the investigation culminated in a 97-page report in which dozens of alumni made abuse allegations against 47 adults affiliated with the school between the 1950s and the 2010s.
