Attorneys for former BYU football player Parker Kingston, who has been charged with rape, have asked a judge to remove the prosecutor from the case, arguing a conflict of interest exists, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

The defense claims the prosecutor filed a disciplinary complaint against lawyers who criticized the investigation on TikTok, creating a conflict. Kingston's legal team argues this action compromises the prosecutor's impartiality in the case.

Kingston has been charged with rape but has not been convicted. The motion to remove the prosecutor is pending before the court.
