Paris Hilton has described Provo Canyon School as the place where her childhood changed forever for many years. Now, after decades of abuse allegations and years of campaigning by survivors, Utah officials have revoked the licence for the facility's girls' programme, ordering it to close over what regulators described as serious failures to protect children in its care.
For Hilton, who says she spent 11 months at the school in the late 1990s, the decision marks a deeply personal milestone in a fight she has carried from documentary films to Congress and state legislatures.
