'Clock Boy' Loses in Court, Father's Defamation Lawsuit Dismissed
A district court judge in Texas has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by Ahmed Mohamed on his own behalf and on behalf of his 15-year-old son, Ahmed Mohamed. They had sued Fox News, Glenn Beck, and the mayor of Irving -- among others -- for defamation in September of 2016.
A year earlier, Ahmed, then a 14-year-old freshman at an Irving, Texas, high school, was arrested, briefly detained by police, and suspended for three days after bringing to school a "cool clock" that looked like a briefcase bomb. Ahmed claimed to have "invented" the easily assembled clock, and that he had brought it to school to show it to his shop teacher.
They were demanding 15 million in November of 2015. He did not actually make this clock - he took an existing Radio Shack alarm clock, unpackaged it and mounted the boards into a pencil box. The folks at ArtVoice found out what model and did the same thing to demonstrate.
And just to make things that much sweeter:
Now that the lawsuit has been dismissed, the AFLC is petitioning the court for lawyer fees and sanctions against Clock Boy's dad.
AFLC is the American Freedom Law Center - they do good work.
