Rebecca Scofield, 41, a University of Idaho historian, has written in a New York Times op-ed about sitting at the end of her son's bed all night, too afraid to sleep, after a TikTok psychic uploaded over a hundred videos accusing her of quadruple homicide. Ashley Guillard's videos, which had no evidential basis, drew millions of views and a torrent of threatening messages. Scofield previously won a $10 million judgment against Guillard.
