SALT LAKE CITY — Utah has revoked another license for the boarding school where Paris Hilton said she was abused as a teenager, the state announced Friday, marking a major victory in the hotel heiress’ years-long fight for reforms in what is commonly known as the troubled teen industry.

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services decision cites a multitude of noncompliance citations in 2026 for Provo Canyon School’s Provo Canyon campus, including failing to protect “a client from potential harm or acts of violence” and “using cruel and unnecessary practices with a child.” More than a dozen citations were noted on Friday.

“No child should be harmed in a program intended to protect them; particularly programs that require state authorization to operate,” Shannon Thoman-Black, director of the department of health and human services’ division of licensing and background checks, said in a statement.

Earlier this month, the state revoked the license for the Provo Canyon school’s other campus in Utah, saying the school “has failed to provide applicable health and safety services to customers.”

The school, which is described on its website as a psychiatric residential treatment center for youth ages 12 to 18, has until Aug. 15 to stop providing services at its Provo campus. In the meantime, Utah officials will monitor facilities at least once a week, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services.

Paris Hilton, the media personality who spent nearly a year at the school in the late 1990s, said the announcement means she finally feels a sense of “peace.”

“This horrible chapter of abuse, neglect and trauma has finally come to an end,” he said in a statement.

The school has 15 days to request a hearing before the department.

Staci Bradley, the school’s director of business development, said in a statement that they disagree with the state’s decision and “are carefully reviewing all available legal and administrative avenues, including the appeals process.”

Hilton alleges that school staff members beat her, watched her shower, gave her unknown pills, and locked her in solitary confinement without clothes.

“Today means that no child will ever have to endure what we did at Provo Canyon School again,” he said.

He has testified about his experiences there in Congress and in U.S. state legislatures, helping pass laws to protect teenagers in Utah and 15 other states. Utah has long played a huge role in the troubled teen industry, a network of private, for-profit residential centers for children with behavioral problems.

In June, Hilton returned to Provo Canyon School to support two families who filed lawsuits alleging their children were mistreated at the school.

The school is under new ownership and the administration has said it cannot comment on anything that happened before the change, including Hilton’s time there.
