Slain TikTok influencer's ex begged for years to leave husband she outed as accused pedophile

TikTok influencer Sara Gilson’s boyfriend had pleaded with her to cut ties with her estranged husband before authorities say he killed her.

Gilson, also known as Sara Duffey, made a post several weeks ago alleging her husband was a pedophile. Police in Owasso, Oklahoma, responded to a report of a domestic violence incident and found both Sara Duffey and Jeremiah Shawn Duffey dead, according to KTUL. The incident is being investigated as a murder-suicide.

A child inside the house called 911 and told the dispatcher “his step-father had shot his mother.”

“She was a wonderful mother and would die for her children. In fact, her trying to protect children is what ultimately led to her death,” Landers said.

Police said similar accusations against Duffey had been reported before. He was accused of lewd molestations of a minor, with the case being sent to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

After the alleged incident, Sara Duffey filed an emergency protective order that barred him from the home.

That same day, another woman filed a separate protective order against Duffey, alleging he had been spotted “kissing and fondling” her 15-year-old daughter, a player on the youth basketball team he coached, according to The Oklahoman.

The outlet reported that he gave her money “to keep her quiet.”
