On Monday afternoon, a New Jersey judge sentenced former Rutgers student Dharun
Ravi to 30 days jail time for spying on his roommate Tyler
Clementi‘s homosexual affairs. Several days after the spying, Clementi
committed suicide by jumping off the GeorgeWashingtonBridge.
In March, Ravi was found guilty of a bias
crime for using the webcam to spy on Clemente. He must report to MiddlesexAdultCorrectionalCenter on May 31 at 9:00
a.m. for a probationary sentence.
“I do not believe [Ravi] hated Tyler
Clementi,” Judge Glenn Berman reportedly told the court. “He
had no reason to, but I do believe he acted out of colossal insensitivity.”
Judge Berman also noted Ravi’s seeming lack
of remorse. “I heard this jury say, ‘guilty’ 288 times–24 questions, 12 jurors.
That’s the multiplication,” Berman said. “I haven’t heard you apologize once.”
In addition to jail time, Reuters’ Matthew Keys reports via Twitter that the judge ordered Ravi to 300 hours of
community service, to pay a $10,000 assessment to probation department, and to
attend counseling.
