Rutgers Freshman commits suicide b/c roomate streamed sexual encounter online...

And she wasn't doing anything homosexual at the time...

SCK did commit the same 3rd degree crime by sending them without her consent.

 

Rutgers is not at fault for pairing them. Depending on what happened with him trying to get a new roommate, they may be at fault.

 

agree....Rutgers did nothing wrong unless we find out that he tried to move and they ignored his requests

 

I still dont understand. The guy seemed fine after finding out the Indian dude set up a webcam and violated his privacy.He posted about it, he seemed as if he was already over it, he had another session with his boyfriend.

Then he kills himself?

I dont get it

 

And if Rutgers doesn't do the right thing, they might as well put up a sign that says Gay People Aren't Welcome Here.

 

I don't either but you can't really tell a person's true feelings from internet posts...is what I gather. He came across kind of as "it's not that big of a deal" in some of his posts...but obviously it was a bigger deal than he was letting on. It's too bad, too, because someone might have been able to help him if he was being perfectly honest about it. By the time he got around to being perfectly honest, it's like "I'm jumping off the GW bridge sorry" and he's dead very soon thereafter.

 

This thread is so gay.

 

I cannot say this is true. Sex Tapes are flying around like candy these days.
So
I wonder what she means "This would not have happened"

No one would have recorded it? I cannot say this is true
No one would have posted it? I cannot say this is true
No one would have been embarrassed by it? I cannot say this is true
No one would have hung them selves over it? Again . . I can say this is probably true . .. but the same could be said it this was a different individual

No one would have been 'Outed'? Well no cause. . I think OUTING indicates being gay . . .and it would not have been a homosexual situation . . but they would have been OUTED as sexual active.

I don't want to lessen the maliciousness of homophobia but I don't think that is the most troubling thing about this case or even if this was a hate crime in terms of that homophobia was a primary driver in this case. Consider if this had been a situation of a women being filmed having sex with a man and the women killed herself because of the shame of being considered a slut or that her family didn't believe in sex outside of marriage would that lessen the tragedy of this situation?

 

As an aside, whatever happened to that Louisville cheerleader? I heard she changed her name and went into hiding.

 

I just searched Louisville cheerleader. I can see why she would change her name. The first link was to Louisville cheerleaders website, everything else was pictures of her.

 

Not aware of this situation.

There are several nude photos of her that leave nothing to the imagination. I also discovered HS cheerleaders from Texas put on quite the Myspace show.

 

From this post you are reading, can you tell if I am sane, insane, upset, or happy?

i completely agree, this is nothing but navi or whatever his names fault, and i hope that ******* gets what he deserves, my whole point is that these bullies will never go away unless you stand up and make them, you cant let someone bully you and make you feel helpless and affect the way you feel about yourself.

I just feel really bad for this kids family. Gay, Straight, or Mayzer, this should never happen.

I mean how is this even funny?

If i walked into a room and there was a guy streaming something intimate between two people thats supposed to be secret i would slap the **** out of them and im not a violent person. To me its along the lines of rape or taking advantage of someone, not as extreme but along the lines.

Apparently New Jersey has some pretty tough hate crime statutes. They could apply this to the invasion of privacy charges to escalate sentencing to 10 years. I'm not sure it should apply in this case, but it is an option if the DA wants to pursue it.

This case just disgusts me. What those two did is definitely a crime whether or not the victims were straight, gay, or bi. And with every crime, you are responsible for the fallout.

I was just taking illegal sex videos of the guy and posting them online. I knew it might be embarrassing, but I didn't think he'd commit suicide. Tell that to your cellmate.

 

so painful to read, this hits close to home. i just hope one day soon, kids won't feel the need to hide their sexual orientation from intolerant parents and homosexuality is not seen as a spectacle for assholes to exploit.

die bigotry.

die bullying.

 

Do you ever really recover as a person (assumes person has a conscience) knowing you did something to cause somebody else to commit suicide? One could view a possible reason why the victim committed suicide as the victim did it to pay them back for doing what they did to him. The victim didn't seem to think justice would be done...so he made sure that it was and they didn't get away with it. These two people may have only intended this as a prank that got out of hand (which is likely the case) and their net result is they are now tarnished by the suicide of the victim. Now, they are the victims of the victim. They lost whatever innocence they had left. I'm not sure time can even heal a wound like that. It will always be on their mind. I bet they are thinking it's not fair right about now...one ill-conceived prank has turned into a lifelong burden to carry around. I hope this prompts the stupid people in the world to put more thought into the consequences of their actions...because these two obviously didn't give it much thought beyond perpetrating their act.

 

I'm all for a full prosecution, but I think this falls short of a hate crime. These two little monsters would have probably done the same thing to a straight person.
