Judge Sanctions Jones For “Indefensible” Claim Sandy Hook Lawyers Tried To Frame Him With Child Porn

CNN reports:

A Connecticut judge on Tuesday sanctioned right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who is being sued by families of the Sandy Hook victims for his past claims that the 2012 shooting was staged. The ruling, handed down from Bridgeport Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis, came after attorneys representing several Sandy Hook families in their lawsuit against Jones filed a motion on Monday asking the judge to review footage of Jones lambasting one of the attorneys in a Friday segment.

Bellis called Jones’ behavior on the broadcast “indefensible,” “unconscionable,” and “possibly criminal behavior.” Bellis sanctioned Jones by denying the defense the opportunity to pursue special motions to dismiss moving forward in the lawsuit. The court will also award attorneys fees and filing fees to the Sandy Hook families’ lawyers related to the issue that Jones went off about in his broadcast: child pornography that Jones’ team inadvertently turned over to the plaintiffs.

On Saturday I reported Jones’ claim that child porn had been planted on his servers via email attachments. Jones offered a $1 million reward for the names of those responsible, repeatedly accusing the Sandy Hook lawyers of having done it. Jones claims he later apologized, but as you can see above, the judge wasn’t buying it.
