Widespread concern that school photography company Lifetouch appears in the Department of Justice's files on Jeffrey Epstein have sparked viral social media posts and school districts around the country responding to upset parents. But the company is refuting the claims.
"Lifetouch is not named in the Epstein files. The documents contain no allegations that Lifetouch itself was involved in, or that student photos were used in, any illicit activities," Lifetouch said in a statement on its website and posted on social media Feb. 10.
Still, worries about Lifetouch being named in the Epstein files have spread rampantly on social media.
One content creator posted an Instagram Reel on Feb. 12 warning parents about schools that use the company and advising them to opt out their kids from the photos. It has 39,000 views to date.
On X, in a post with more than 100,000 views as of Feb. 13, a user reiterated the claim that the company is in the files and wrote, "They keep a database of all the digital photos of kids and their personal info."
