Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist behind the far-right site Infowars, now faces a lawsuit from six families affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as well as an FBI agent who responded to the attack. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Connecticut, adds to similar defamation suits filed last month in Texas by more families who lost loved ones in the massacre.
Jones, the site's owner, claimed the 2012 slaying of 20 first-graders at the Connecticut school was a hoax put on by paid actors. Leonard Pozner, who lost his 6-year-old son in the shooting and joined last month's suit, said his family suffered threats and harassment after Jones' claim from other conspiracy theorists who told him his son never existed.
This weeks' lawsuit seeks monetary and punitive damages as well as other costs, but doesn't specify how much. The prior lawsuits each called for $1 million in damages from Jones, Infowars and Free Speech Systems, a related company. They marked the first such civil action taken against Jones by parents of the shooting's victims, according to the New York Times.
"He knew his claims were false but he made them anyway to further a simple but pathetic goal: to make money by tearing away at the families’ pain,” said Josh Koskoff, a lawyer fielding the Conneticut lawsuit.
Jones, in a video last month, said the Sandy Hook shooting "really happened" but that families were being used by the Democratic Party as well as news outlets and that the lawsuits would be dismissed.
But Sandy Hook-related lawsuits aren't the first threats this year for Jones, who's spouted unfounded theories on tragedies from the car attack in Charlottesville, Va., to the Parkland, Fla., shooting.
