Is outing a gay a crime?

[Guns Guns Guns]

A New Jersey man is charged with spying on his roommate, Tyler Clementi and another man in an intimate embrace by using a remote webcam in their Piscataway dorm. Through his Twitter feed, Ravi announced a planned second encounter between Clementi and the other man, who has been identified only as M.B., but Clementi caught wind of it.

Clementi, 18, killed himself on Sept. 22, 2010, jumping off the George Washington Bridge and igniting a national conversation on cyber bullying and gay teen suicide.

Ravi was arrested days later, and prosecutors say he targeted Clementi specifically for being gay.Ravi, of Plainsboro, is charged with multiple counts of bias intimidation as a hate crime, invasion of privacy and hindering apprehension. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted on the top counts, but with no criminal record, would likely receive less if convicted.

His trial, 17 months in the making, has attracted a swarm of media attention and is expected to last up to a month.http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/02/rutgers_cyber-bullying_trial.html

More news on the trial...


Dharun Ravi's roommate, Tyler Clementi, jumped off the George Washington Bridge in 2010 in the days following the alleged spying incident.


Ravi is charged with bias intimidation as a hate crime, along with invasion of privacy and hindering apprehension.


Part of the charges against Ravi include streaming the images of Clementi and another man to a computer across the hall into the dorm room of Wei, Ravi's former high school classmate.



Wei also was charged in the case and was accepted into a pretrial intervention program for first-time offenders



Judge Glenn Berman denied part of an online request for a room change to be admitted into evidence. The prosecution sought to admit the entire request sent by Clementi to a Rutgers residence life employee on an official Rutgers website. The request read: "roommate used webcam to spy on me/want a single room."


Berman allowed only the second part of the message to be seen by the jury — "want a single room" — because, he said, the first part was inadmissible "hearsay" evidence.
