Sandy Hook 'Truther' Applied for Accelerated Rehab

The man who allegedly shoved a photograph of Victoria Soto in her sister’s face and claimed she never existed is seeking accelerated rehabilitation.

Matthew Mills, 30, of Brooklyn appeared in court Tuesday and applied for accelerated rehabilitation, according to the News-Times. He was charged with seocnd-degree breach of peace and interfering with police.

Accelerated rehabilitation is a program for certain non-violent offenders that erases charges from their record after successfully completing a special rehabilitative program.

Jillian Soto told the Daily News that she wants to see Mills punished for his actions.

“This man made a mockery of us trying to figure out how to live without our loved ones, and that isn’t OK,” she told the Daily News. “You want to think the government is behind it, then go ahead and think that. But there are still 26 people dead because of it, and one of those people was my best friend and older sister.”
