GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) -- Interlochen Academy says it’s starting an external review of staff following reports of alleged sexual misconduct involving former academy faculty members from the 1960s and 1970s.

Interlochen said none of the faculty members are currently employed by Interlochen and some are deceased.

The school said alumni who have already participated in the investigation have shared “sobering accounts.”

“We recognize how painful and difficult it can be to share deeply personal experiences of harm, and we are listening with integrity, candor, and compassion,” Interlochen said in a statement.

1. I think this came out

as a result of it being made known that Epstein and Maxwell were at Interlochen one summer and nabbed a 14 year old there.
