COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – A lawsuit filed for more than a dozen people alleges a former Council Bluffs doctor shifted assets to his wife so he wouldn’t have to pay compensation to his sex crime victims. Dennis Jones was sentenced to 10 years in prison after his 2014 convictions. Prosecutors say Jones possessed an estimated 1.2 million images of child pornography and 9,300 videos of child pornography, including some of his young patients. Several families involved sued in 2014.

The Daily Nonpareil reports a new lawsuit filed last week names Jones and his wife, Marianne, and says he’s transferred more than $1.4 million in real estate and other assets to her. Their attorney, Mike Winter, says the transfers were made so Marianne Jones had funds to live on. Winter says the transfers weren’t fraudulent because all were made before lawsuits were filed.
