The Rutgers University students charged with streaming a roommate's gay sexual encounter on the Internet -- driving him to suicide -- appear to be in hiding, refusing to defend themselves publicly even as criminal charges pile up and anger builds on their college campus and around the world.
Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, both 18, were charged earlier this week with two counts each of invasion of privacy for allegedly using a camera to view and transmit a live image of fellow 18-year-old Tyler Clementi making out with a dude, according to Ravi's Twitter postings. Clementi was Ravi's roommate, and he killed himself on Sept. 22 by jumping off New York's George Washington Bridge after finding out about the Web video.
New Jersey prosecutors are also considering additional charges against Ravi and Wei, possibly involving a hate crime if they're found to have targeted Clementi because of his sexual orientation.
