A Rutgers University freshman is presumed to have killed himself by jumping off the George Washington Bridge after his roommate broadcast video of him having sex with another man on the Internet, according to The Star-Ledger of New Jersey.
Authorities found 18-year-old Tyler Clementi's (pictured) car, wallet, and computer on the bridge last week. Clementi's body has yet to be found.
Dharun Ravi, 18, and Molly Wei, 18, have been charged with two counts each of invasion of privacy for setting up a camera in a dorm room on September 19 and using it to view and transmit a live sex scene, said Middlesex County prosecutor Bruce Kaplan.
Ravi and Clementi were roommates at Rutgers. Ravi's Twitter feed on September 19 referred to his seeing his roommate having sex with another man in their dorm room.
"Roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into molly's room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay," Ravi said on his Twitter page.
Two days later, Ravi posted an iChat link to a video feed of the encounter.
Ravi surrendered to Rutgers police Tuesday and was released on $25,000 bail, the prosecutor's office said. On Monday, Wei turned herself in to campus police and was released on her own recognizance.
