Tyler Clementi, 18, attended Rutgers University and when he needed the room he and his roommate shared for the night he didn’t know that his roommate, Dharun Ravi, and friend Molly Wei, live-streamed Clementi in a sexual encounter with another male student without his knowledge.
Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, both 18, have been charged with planting a webcam in a Rutgers dorm and broadcasting a classmate’s sexual encounter. The classmate is believed to have committed suicide.
Dharun and Molly have both been charged with invasion of privacy for broadcasting a classmate’s September 19 sexual encounter. (It’s illegal to create pornography without the subject’s consent in New Jersey.) Local sources report that the victim “was believed to have jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge” (which connects New Jersey to Manhattan) shortly thereafter.
Here is what Dharun tweeted the night his roommate was taped without his knowledge. The next day Clementi’s belongings were found on the bridge.
