Idaho Murders: University of Idaho professor sues TikToker over allegations | LiveNOW from FOX
A history professor at the University of Idaho is suing a cyber-sleuth for defamation after the would-be detective accused her of involvement in the campus slayings last month. TikTok personality Ashley Guillard accused Rebecca Scofield, an associate professor and chair of the history department, of perpetrating the murders of four students at the university in Moscow, Idaho. The lawsuit points to numerous videos posted to the platform that attempted to tie the teacher to the killings. "The statements made about Professor Scofield are false, plain and simple," Scofield’s attorney Wendy J.Olson told Fox News Digital in a statement. "What’s even worse is that these untrue statements create safety issues for the Professor and her family." Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were stabbed to death inside their rental home between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Nov. 13.
