COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A former Council Bluffs pediatrician already in prison for child pornography and child sex abuse will be back in court to face a lawsuit in the case. The Daily Nonpareil reports that Dennis Jones will appear in court on Tuesday.

More than a dozen families filed the lawsuit in 2014 against Jones. Jones was convicted in 2014 of possessing child pornography and lascivious acts with a child. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison on each charge to be served simultaneously.

Prosecutors say Jones had an estimated 1.2 million images of child pornography and 9,300 videos of child pornography in his possession — some of those being of his young patients.
