A judge has denied conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ attempt to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed against him by the parents of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims. (Mediaite)
Veronique De La Rosa and Leonard Pozner brought the lawsuit against Jones and his media company Infowars. They are the parents of Noah Pozner, who was 6 years old when he was killed in the 2011 shooting Jones and Infowars repeatedly claimed was staged. Pozner was one of 20 children killed in the shooting.
Judge Scott Jenkins of the 53rd District Court in Texas ruled Jones must face the claims from Pozner’s parents.
Jones repeatedly pushed false claims on Infowars that the shooting was a staged “false flag” operation, and its victims “crisis actors.”

The case is one of three defamation lawsuits against Jones filed by families of Sandy Hook victims.
Besides losing their son, death threats and harassment have forced the Pozners to move seven times.
