(Reuters) - Conspiracy promoter and right-wing media personality Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $100,000 in court costs and legal fees stemming from a lawsuit over his claims that the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre of school children was a hoax, court records show.

Mark Bankston, an attorney representing Heslin and three other Sandy Hook parents, said Jones has put a middle finger up to the court.Hopefully these orders will have the effect of telling him theres severe consequences for this, Bankston said.

Similar lawsuits against Jones have been filed by other Sandy Hook families in Connecticut courts. He ordered Jones to pay legal fees to attorneys representing a Sandy Hook father who brought the lawsuit, Neil Heslin, and denied a request to dismiss the case.

Jones has since acknowledged that the Sandy Hook killings occurred. In June, the father of 6-year-old Noah Pozner, one of the Sandy Hook victims, won a defamation lawsuit against the authors of a book that claimed the shooting never happened.
