Mixed Verdict in Rutgers Webcam Case against Dharun Ravi

In the case against former Rutgers student Dharun Ravi the jury has returned a mixed verdict. Ravi was charged with secretly viewing his roommate in a sexual encounter with another man through a webcam. Ravi's roommate, Tyler Clementi, 18, committed suicide by jumping off the George Washington Bridge just days after learning that Ravi had used a laptop webcam to spy on him with a man.

He was being tried on a 15-count indictment including charges of bias intimidation, invasion of privacy, tampering with physical evidence, witness tampering and hindering apprehension.

Ravi has been found guilty of invasion of privacy, evidence tampering, and hindering investigation. Jurors also found him guilty on several charges of bias intimidation which are hate crimes. He was found not guilty on some of those bias charges.

The most serious charges are if Ravi's actions had constituted bias intimidation, meaning that he was motivated to inspire fear in Clementi because of his sexual orientation. Those charges carry jail time of up to 10 years and possible deportation back to his native India.
