Lifetouch Returns as Preferred Vendor After KEDC Probe

The Kentucky Educational Development Corporation is reinstating a partnership with a school photo vendor following concerns of possible links to Jeffrey Epstein.

Last week, KEDC announced it was suspending its partnership with Lifetouch Photography until an investigation can be done to look into ties a parent company executive may have had with the disgraced money manager.

Following that investigation, KEDC says it has determined that Lifetouche’s parent company had ties to Epstein through past investment relationships which are no longer active or connected to present day operations.

While KEDC says Lifetouch will now return to its preferred vendor list, it says districts will be allowed to choose which vendor is best for their district.
