Austin Shock Jock Alex Jones Accused Of Sending Child Porn

AUSTIN, TX — Noted Austin conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, host of the InfoWars broadcast, is accused of sending child pornography images to lawyers of families suing him over his views on the Sandy Hook tragedy, according to a published report.

The law firm representing families of the 2102 mass shooting at a Connecticut school stated in court documents filed on Monday they contacted the FBI after discovering child pornography in electronic files Jones turned over to them as part of the lawsuit against him, the ctpost reported.

Jones has long advanced his theory that the Sandy Hook shooting as a hoax, saying the 20 children who died in the massacre were actually actors. He has posited footage from the rampage is fake, part of an effort aimed at curtailing gun rights advocates' ability to purchase firearms.

“The FBI advised counsel that its review located numerous additional illegal images, which had apparently been sent to InfoWars email addresses,” Sandy Hook family lawyers said.

Jones publicly acknowledged the new accusations being made against him but framed them as a set-up by Chris Mattei, the lawyer for the Sandy Hook families. In responding, Jones is said to have made thinly veiled threats against Mattei and his law firm, Koskoff, Koskoff and Bieder the Sandy Hook families' defense lawyers further alleged.

“You’re trying to set me up with child porn, I’ll get your ass,” Jones is heard saying on the broadcast. “One million dollars, you little gang members. One million dollars to put your head on a pike.” As outlined in the report, Jones then pounds a photograph of Mattei while in the throes of a rant, at one point saying: “I’m gonna kill…”

But the lawyer for Jones, Norman Pattis, denied his client was threatening Mattei or the Sandy Hook families. He urged people to watch the broadcast for themselves. “Mr. Jones was upset, he did not threaten Mr. Mattei,” Pattis said, as quoted by ctpost. “He spoke in a compassionate fashion.”

A hearing has been scheduled before Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis on Tuesday, according ot the report. Jones’ lawyers had previously been ordered by Judge to turn over vast amounts of electronically stored data on Jones’ business operations, the report added.
