A 24-year-old Indian-origin former Rutgers University student today pleaded guilty to attempted invasion of privacy by using a web cam to spy on his roommate who later committed suicide, bringing an end to a case that drew global attention and cast a spotlight on cyber bullying.


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, New York Times reported.
