Dharun Ravi

A former Indian student of a US public research university, whose gay room-mate killed himself in 2010 after being captured in a sexual act on webcam, has pleaded guilty to attempted invasion of privacy.

India-born student Dharun Ravi, who had served a 20-day prison term for spying on his gay roommate who later committed suicide, won a major legal reprieve after a New Jersey appeals court threw out his conviction and ordered a new trial.

The former Rutgers University student convicted of using a webcam to spy on his roommate will likely be released from prison Tuesday after serving 20 days of a 30-day sentence.

Dharun Ravi, 20, also said he will begin serving a 30-day jail term on Thursday even though he doesn't have to.

A week before Dharun Ravi was sentenced to jail for using a webcam to spy on a gay college roommate who later killed himself, supporters rallied behind him, arguing that New Jersey laws should be changed so that someone in his situation could not be found guilty of a hate crime.

The distraught parents of Dharun Ravi who was sentenced for a month in prison for spying on his gay roommate, said that he has suffered "enough" while the mother of his roommate who committed suicide said that her family has never heard an apology from Dharun Ravi.

Several hundred protesters gathered on Monday at the New Jersey State House to show support for a former Rutgers student convicted of bias intimidation and to call attention to what they see as injustices in New Jersey's hate-crime laws.
