Tyler Clementi A New Jersey university student has taken his own life, after two of his roommates secretly filmed him having sex with another man then posted it on the internet. A body has been found in the Hudson River, which has not yet been identified, but is believed to be that of 18-year-old Tyler Clementi, who was described by a family lawyer as "a fine young man and a distinguished musician." The death of the Rutgers University freshman came just three days after his sex life was streamed live across the internet. Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei have been arrested and charged with two counts each of invasion of privacy. Ravi has also been charged with two more invasion of privacy counts for trying to arrange the airing of a second session. The top count against each suspect carries a five-year jail term. Rutgers will not comment on any details of the case. If you need to talk, call OUTLine on 0800 OUTLINE (688 5463) or (09) 309 3268.
