How sad for the families of everyone involved.

I don't know if this was a case of kids (college kids) being cruel or just not thinking. I know this happened a lot when I was in school but it was usually girls being video taped while they gave boys . Either way people need to stop and think before they do things like this.

Get over it. He chose to kill himself not the boys who did the prank. The prank was rude but get over it. It was their room, too.

That's disgusting. I hope the roomate gets the full punishment the law allows. Along with being dismissed from the University. What a horrible tragedy.
And what a horrible thing to have to live with for the rest of that persons life.
Poor choices that caused a lifetime of sadness and tragedy.

Why should he be dismissed from the university? This was not done during class. This is BS. The roommate killed himself. That's his business. It's awful but he did it. The invasion of privacy is up to the police to deal with not the university.

I'm sorry? But, they lived in the same dorm room? I don't understand what they did wrong except for the live stream of the sexual act. Let the district attorney handle this. You are not an attorney so butt out now.
