Ex-Indian student pleads guilty to webcam spying

Dharun Ravi, admitted to attempting to activate a web camera to capture Tyler Clementi’s sexual encounter with another man with the intent of letting other people view it, but not publishing it over the internet. By pleading guilty to the third-degree felony, Ravi accepted a deal with state prosecutors to drop all other charges after an appellate court threw out his conviction, NYT reported. Last month the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey in Newark overturned a lower court’s conviction of Ravi on several counts of bias intimidation because of a change in state law.
