(AP) _ A former Rutgers University student accused of using a webcam to spy on his gay roommate's love life has been convicted of bias intimidation and invasion of privacy in a case that exploded into the headlines when the victim of the snooping committed suicide. Twenty-year-old Dharun Ravi (dah-ROON' RAH'-vee) could face 10 years in prison when he's sentenced. He shook his head slightly after the verdicts were read. A jury found that he used a webcam to spy on roommate Tyler Clementi and that he did it _ and told others about it _ because of a bias against gays. Clementi jumped to his death from New York's George Washington Bridge days after the spying in September 2010.3/16/2012 11:54 AM
