Families of two children killed at Sandy Hook
Elementary School have filed lawsuits in Texas against controversial radio
talk show host Alex Jones for continually claiming the massacre never
happened, the Hartford Courant reports.
Neil Heslin, the father of
Jesse Lewis, and Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, whose son Noah Pozner
died in the massacre, filed separate lawsuits in Travis County, Tx. The
lawsuits allege that Jones’ constantly calling the parents “crisis actors” and
insisting the shooting was a false flag operation has defamed them and led to
victims’ families receiving death threats.
The lawsuits were filed in Texas
because Jones media company, Infowars, is based in Austin. Both lawsuits seek
more than $1 million in damages from Jones, Infowars and a related company,
Free Speech Systems LLC.
Jones has been a controversial figure and one of the leading
voices in the Sandy Hook truther movement, a group that claims the Dec. 14,
2012 shooting never occurred. Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people,
including 20 first graders, inside the school that day using an AR-15 before
killing himself with a handgun. Noah Pozner and Jesse Lewis were in
separate classrooms.
