Tyler Clementi's Lover Speaks


In the trial of Dharun Ravi, Tyler's lover, M.B. testified yesterday. As of now, his face or any pictures of him will remain hidden during the trial.

M.B. said he met Clementi through a gay social network and that they gathered for three trysts in Clementi’s dorm. During the second assignation, M.B. testified, he noticed a webcam pointed in his direction. He also said he was careful to leave before Ravi, who secretly set up the webcam, returned to the dormitory.

Though M.B. said he and Clementi had sex that night, students who testified to watching the video said they only saw the men kissing. When he left the dorm that evening, he said there were about five students watching him as he left. The third time he met with Clementi, he heard disturbing comments made in the dorm courtyard, but he was not allowed to elaborate on what was said.

Media reports indicate M.B. appeared to be in his 20s, trim, and neatly put-together, an appearance that contradicted with Ravi’s description of him. Ravi claimed he taped Clementi and M.B. because M.B. appeared “sketchy” and he was worried he might steal his computer.
Really, Ravi? Who's sketchy again?
