I don't think the OP is capturing the story here well.

During the lawsuit between the parents and infowars/Alex Jones, the parents' lawyers requested emails from infowars during discovery. Infowars just dumped the entire contents of the email server to them and when the parents lawyers reviewed it for evidence relevant to the case, they discovered child porn that had been sent to infowars. The parents' lawyers sent the information to the FBI and they are investigating.

This likely ends with whoever sent the images to infowars being prosecuted.
Oh god damn it.

It's not just the OP. All of the headlines I've seen are seeming to imply Jones and Infowars deliberately sent this stuff to the victims. It just was in the Infowars email server because someone else had sent Infowars CP.

Now the question is if Jones knew it was there. And, because I'd assume self preservation matters to him, he probably didn't know. Otherwise there is no way the defense would just hand over the entire server to the victim's lawyers. Or maybe they're all stupid idiots and Jones is fucked. I doubt it would be possible to prove it either way, so I expect nothing to come of this.

Eh I don't completely buy this explanation of Alex Jones being the innocent savage. He runs a multi-million dollar business and he doesn't have guys looking at his e-mails for him? Yeah right.

Every news organization has guys that check e-mail accounts for relevant information. Why would these just happen to slip through everyone's noses? Most of the time this would get reported instantly from whatever organization is receiving them, but nope didn't happen with Infowars.
Again, I'm not saying he's not a piece of garbage for apparently not reporting this to the FBI in the first place, I'm merely contesting that he sent CP to people which is what this thread title implies. That's inaccurate.

it's ironic to me that alex jones is having what remains of his tattered reputation destroyed by sensationalized headlines and his lawyers not understanding the concept of malware

live by the sword, die by the sword - you hate to see it happen, folks

Reminder Trump appeared on his show, thanked him personally, and our media has never brought this up to him/SHS.

This makes sense. Alex Jones is a complete and total piece of fucking shit but I don't think he'd be going about this

I'm sure he meant to forward the folder full of photos of dead children instead, since he seems to love rubbing that shit in those families faces.

y'all need to read, there is no evidence he solicited any such material nor that he knew it was there. Alex Jones is a motherfucking embarassment to mankind but at least get the fact straight for fucks sake

Alex is among the worst human beings on the internet, that's for sure. But I don't think most folks here are reading the details of this story. The pictures in question were sent to infowars and so far it doesn't seem as if anyone from infowars solicited those pictures.

YES PLEASE DON'T SPREAD MISINFORMATION ABOUT

ALEX

JONES

i mean yeah sure its cool to shit on him, i get it, he's a pretty deplorable dude and a running meme, but at least rip on the dude for all the fucked shit he's actually done instead of drive by posting in a thread about an article that you didn't bother to read

I mean this is a guy who makes money by going after murdered elementary school children and attacking their parents by saying their dead children aren't real. It would not surprise me what kind of fucked up stuff he might be into.

Yes, if you hate Alex Jones for spreading misinformation and being an asshole why would you do the same thing as him? 🤔

Alex Jones is a scum bag that has done serious harm to some very vulnerable people and this lawsuit will hopefully hold him accountable for that, but spreading false information about him isn't the way.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha he's finally going to jail and we all know how child predators are treated hhahahahahahahahahaha what a fucking idiot

No one deserves to be raped, not even Alex Jones. Nice to see supposed allies rally behind rape as punishment.

Y'know, this would be the perfect moment for him to break character and go "yes I do support Trump to get some of his insane followers, yes I do plug weird ass supplements for money in my show and I'm just some hack doing some cash, but I don't do child porn, what the fuck".

But instead he'll blame the water that makes frogs gay and will actually show the world that he's fucking deranged.

people shouldn't publish misleading headlines about alex jones because they should strive to be better than him

but it's also hard to muster up any sympathy for alex jones falling victim to his own tricks
