A University of Idaho professor who says she's been wrongly accused of ordering the unsolved killings of four college students is alleging defamation in a federal lawsuit filed against the TikTok user who posted the accusations online.
The department didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit.
After a lawyer for Scofield sent a cease and desist letter to Guillard on Nov. 29, she kept posting what the suit calls defamatory videos. After sending a second cease and desist letter on Dec. 8, Guillard showed the document in a TikTok video and said Scofield would need to “file actual legal documents in a federal court” asking her to remove them, the suit says.
“Professor Scofield has never met Guillard,” the suit says. “She does not know her. She does not know why Guillard picked her to repeatedly falsely accuse of ordering the tragic murders and being involved with one of the victims. Professor Scofield does know that she has been harmed by the false TikToks and false statements.”
