In his text messages, Ravi told his friend, Michelle Huang, how he would use his computer's webcam to record Clementi with another man. He also alerted other people via Twitter about the encounter being viewable because of the webcam. Clementi jumped from the George Washington Bridge to his death three days after Ravi used a Web camera to record him cuddling with a man in their Rutgers University dorm room Sept.
