Idaho professor sues TikToker over allegations about killing of 4 university students

A University of Idaho professor who says she’s been wrongly accused of ordering the unsolved killings of four college students last month is alleging defamation in a federal lawsuit filed this week against the self-described internet sleuth who posted the allegations on TikTok.

The suit, filed Wednesday in Idaho District Court by history department chair Rebecca Scofield, also accused TikTok user Ashley Guillard of falsely alleging that the professor had planned the killings with another University of Idaho student.
