Lawyers dispute allegations in Rutgers suicide
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Lawyers for two former Rutgers University freshmen accused of webcasting a male classmate having sex with another man are disputing allegations against them.
Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei were charged with invasion of privacy after prosecutors say Ravi used a webcam Sept. 19 to capture his roommate, Tyler Clementi, having a gay sexual encounter. Clementi jumped to his death off the George Washington Bridge days later.
But Steven Altman and Rubin Sinins, who represent Ravi and Wei respectively, told The Star-Ledger of Newark that the webcam stream was only viewed on a single computer and did not show the men having sex.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Law enforcement officials wouldn't discuss the lawyers' claims, citing the ongoing investigation.
Ravi and Wei recently withdrew from Rutgers. Prosecutors are considering whether to charge them with a hate crime.
