Clementi family: Webcam spying led to son’s death
The Associated Press
RIDGEWOOD, N.J. — The family of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi said they have come to believe he killed himself in part because of his roommate used a webcam to see him kissing another man.
“It was the humiliation that his roommates and his dorm-mates were watching him in a very intimate act. And that they were laughing behind his back,” his mother, Jane Clementi said. “The last thing that Tyler looked at before he left the dorm room for the bridge (he jumped from) was the Twitter page, where (his roommate) was announcing Tyler’s activities.”
Jane Clementi, her husband and one of their surviving sons talked about Tyler’s death and how their views on homosexuality have changed when they appeared Thursday night on NBC’s “Rock Center” in the first interview the family has given since the bias intimidation trial of the 18-year-old’s roommate.
