THE VERDICT IS IN!

Ravi as found guilty of the most serious of charges for spying on his room mate, Tyler Clementi, having a gay sexual encounter in 2010, a New Jersey jury ruled today.

Ravi was convicted of invasion of privacy, bias intimidation, witness tampering, and hindering arrest, stemming from his role in activating a webcam to peek at Clementi's date with a man on Sept 19, 2010.  Ravi was also accused of encouraging others to spy during a second date, on Sept 21,2010, and intimidating Clementi for being gay.

Ravi was found not guilty of some of the 15 counts of bias intimidation, attempted invasion of privacy, and attempted bias intimidation.

So, Ravi was not charged in connection with Clementi's death. But, charged with the invasion of privacy. Hopefully, this man gets deported back to India, and the max penalty of 10 years.
