Dharun Ravi is Guilty of a Hate Crime and Invasion of Privacy

The verdict is in on Ravi

Ravi is charged with four counts of bias intimidation as a hate crime, two counts of invasion of privacy, two counts of attempted invasion of privacy and six counts of witness tampering and hindering apprehension. 

The charges stem from a series of events on Sept. 19 and Sept. 21, 2010, when prosecutors say Ravi turned on his webcam from a friend's laptop and watched his roommate, Tyler Clementi, kissing a man in their dorm room. Ravi tweeted what he had seen and on a second occasion a few days later, invited others to watch via twitter.

Prosecutors say Ravi's actions speak to his bias against gays and hatred of his roommate.
Ravi's lawyer has said Ravi acted childish because he was taken aback by what he had seen on his webcam, but showed no prejudice or hatred against gays.

Dharun face up to 10 years in prison.
