22:06 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nA former Rutgers University student charged after allegedly spying on a classmate who then committed suicide has reached a deal with prosecutors.<\/p>\n
Two counts of invasion of privacy against Molly Wei will be dropped if she co-operates with the prosecution of another student, Dharun Ravi.<\/p>\n
Ms Wei and Mr Ravi are accused of using a webcam to spy on Tyler Clementi, 18, during a homosexual encounter. He then jumped to his death from a bridge.<\/p>\n
Mr Ravi denies the charges against him.<\/p>\n
Under the deal agreed with prosecutors in New Jersey, Ms Wei was accepted into a pre-trial intervention programme and must comply with a series of conditions.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old could avoid serving time in prison and have her criminal record erased in three years if she co-operates with prosecutors, completes 300 hours of community service and holds a job, the Associated Press reports.<\/p>\n
Mr Clementi’s parents said they accepted Ms Wei’s agreement with the court.<\/p>\n
She and Mr Ravi both withdrew from Rutgers University in New Jersey following the incident last autumn.<\/p>\n
Mr Ravi was charged last month with bias intimidation, invasion of privacy, witness- and evidence-tampering and other offences.<\/p>\n
He was already facing invasion of privacy charges, alongside Ms Wei.<\/p>\n
The charges came after Mr Clementi’s family called for a criminal investigation into the case.<\/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
