Tyler Clementi, 18-year old student at Rutgers University, jumped off the George Washington Bridge to his death. The cause seems to be a sex tape showing Tyler
Clementi having sexual intercourse with another young man in his dorm room. The two fellow students who had hidden a camera in his room are Molly Wei and Dharun Ravi.
Molly Wei and Dharun Ravi were charged and then incarcerated. Ravi was released on a $ 25,000 bound and Wei was set free from jail on her own recognizance.
After the tragic death of Clementi, Dharun Ravi erased his Twitter account, but achieves of it can still be viewed by other people. One of the Tweets said:” Roommate asked for the room til midnight. I went into Molly’s room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay.”
On September 22, Tyler Clementi decided to kill himself and acted in consequence. The two students involved in this sad event are facing 5 years in prison if convicted.
Rutger University’s officials issued an official statement :” The university takes these matters seriously and has policies to deal with students behavior. Under federal law, the university cannot comment on specifics.” Tyler Clementi committed suicide Sept. 22, apparently after discovering that his Rutgers University roommate, Dharun Ravi, and friend Molly Wei, live-streamed Clementi in a sexual encounter with another male student without his knowledge, a lawyer for the Clementi family announced late Wednesday.
Clementi's family attorney, Paul Mainardi, said that after learning of the violation of his privacy Clementi jumped off the George Washington Bridge, which connects New Jersey with upper Manhattan. Clementi's car, cell phone and computer were found near the bridge and his wallet was found on a walkway on the bridge.
There was reportedly no note at the scene, but reported that Clementi left a final goodbye on his Facebook page that read "jumping off the gw bridge, sorry."
