Jillian Soto Wants 'Truther' Punished: Report

Jillian Soto is planning to file for a restraining order against the Brooklyn, N.Y., “truther” who confronted her at the Vicki Soto 5K race that was held in her sister’s honor and allegedly said the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax and the victims’ relatives are all actors, according to the New York Daily News.

Jillian Soto told the Daily News that she is also willing to testify against Matthew Mills, 32, to see him prosecuted.

“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.”

Mills, a conspiracy theorist with a history of arrests, was arrested by Stratford Police last Saturday at the third annual race, which is held to raise money for the Vicki Soto Memorial Fund. Soto was killed during the December 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting. She was hailed as a hero who died while protecting her students.

Mills was charged with second-degree breach of peace and interfering with police.

Earlier in the week, Mills defended his actions to the Daily News saying he was acting as a reporter and was investigating a popular conspiracy theory. He told the News he intentionally sought out Jillian Soto to ask whether a family portrait of the Soto siblings sitting on seaside rocks in Stratford during happier times was altered.

Mills was previously arrested for sneaking into the MetLife Stadium media tent during the Super Bowl and interrupting a live press conference with talk about 9/11 conspiracies.
