Court documents allege that InfoWars founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was in possession of child pornography and sent it to the legal team defending the families of Sandy Hook victims.

Lawyers from Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder, the firm representing the families of Sandy Hook victims, filed a statement on Monday stating that they discovered child pornography in documents that Jones' defense sent as part of the discovery process of the lawsuit.

Upon discovering these items, the counsel immediately sent them to the FBI for further inspection — which confirmed that they were indeed pornographic images of children, the counsel said.

"This Court has an obligation to protect the attorneys, parties, and the judicial process," the counsel said in their statement.

The documents were originally sent following Jones' claim that the Sandy Hook shootings were a hoax, resulting in a lawsuit filed by the families of victims for defamation.

On a broadcast of Alex Jones' program Friday, alongside his lawyer Norm Pattis, Jones accused Christopher Mattei, a lawyer at the firm representing the families, of planting child pornography.

"You’re trying to set me up with child porn, I’ll get your a--," he said on the show.

"One million dollars, you little gang members. One million dollars to put your head on a pike. One million dollars, b----. I’m going to get your ass, you understand me now?"

Lawyers representing Jones repudiated the child porn allegations in an opposing statement, calling it a "tireless campaign ... completely without merit."

A hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday.

Earlier this year, Jones admitted that the Sandy Hook shootings were real and that his conspiracy claims were caused by "psychosis."
