The former Rutgers student accused of using a webcam to spy on a roommate who later committed suicide is in court for a pre-trial conference.

When ultra-responsible New Jersey teenager Tyler Clementi unburdened himself to his parents before heading off to college, there was a lot on his mind. In a 45-minute conversation, the 18-year-old told his mother he was gay, that he was having doubts about whether there is a God and that he felt friendless...

A former Rutgers student accused of using a webcam to spy on his roommate's intimate encounter with another man rejected a plea deal on Friday that would have kept him out of prison and sought to prevent his deportation, accepting the gamble of a trial.

The parents of the Rutgers University student whose roommate allegedly used a webcam to spy on his intimate encounter with a man say their son told them he was gay about three weeks before his suicide.

For the first time since their son tragically committed suicide a year ago, the parents of Tyler Clementi were back on campus at Rutgers University to attend a symposium on the use and misuse of social networks.

The parents of a Rutgers University student who committed suicide last year returned to the school Monday with a message: "The change that you want to see in the world and in your school begins with you."

It will surely be a difficult day for the parents of Tyler Clementi. He is the student who took his own life after his roommate allegedly used a webcam to spy on his intimate encounter with another man.
