14:47 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nA former Rutgers University student faces 15 charges after allegedly using a webcam to spy on a homosexual encounter involving his roommate, who committed suicide afterwards.<\/p>\n
A Middlesex County grand jury charged Dharun Ravi with bias intimidation, invasion of privacy and other charges.<\/p>\n
Tyler Clementi, 18, jumped to his death from a bridge on 22 September.<\/p>\n
Molly Wei, another student allegedly involved in the incident, was not named in the indictment in New Jersey.<\/p>\n
Mr Clementi leapt from the George Washington Bridge in New York City last autumn after Mr Ravi and Ms Wei allegedly used a webcam to spy on him during a romantic encounter with a man.<\/p>\n
Mr Ravi and Ms Wei both withdrew from Rutgers University in New Jersey following the incident.<\/p>\n
‘Calculated acts’<\/span><\/p>\nMr Ravi was charged on Wednesday with bias intimidation, invasion of privacy, witness and evidence tampering and other offences.<\/p>\n
The indictment said charges would not be presented to Ms Wei “at this time”.<\/p>\n
Mr Ravi’s legal team has said the footage caught on the webcam was streamed to only one computer and that it did not capture the men having sex.<\/p>\n
The charges came after Mr Clementi’s family called for a criminal investigation into the case.<\/p>\n
“The grand jury indictment spells out cold and calculated acts against our son Tyler by his former college roommate,” the Clementi family said in a statement released after the indictment was returned.<\/p>\n
“We are eager to have the process move forward for justice in this case and to reinforce the standards of acceptable conduct in our society.”<\/p>\n
Mr Ravi was already facing invasion of privacy charges, as is Ms Wei.<\/p>\n
Gay rights organisations have said Mr Clementi’s suicide is an example of a nationwide problem – young people killing themselves after being bullied over their sexuality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
