(AP) The family of a 12/14 victim has applied to trademark her name in an attempt to stop others from misusing it on social media.

Victoria Soto was one of the teachers killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the shootings there 26 months ago.

Jillian Soto says people have set up fake accounts using her sister’s name, many of which promote conspiracy theories about the massacre.

She says the misuse of her sister’s name also makes it harder for people to find links to The Vicki Soto Memorial Fund, which raises money for scholarships for aspiring teachers.

She says the family hopes a trademark will make it easier to have unauthorized pages removed from the Internet.
