[Updated at 8:01 p.m. ET] A former Rutgers University student accused of spying on and intimidating his gay roommate by use of a hidden webcam was found guilty Friday of all counts - including invasion of privacy and the more severe charges of bias intimidation - in a case that thrust cyberbullying into the national spotlight.
Dharun Ravi, 20, was also found guilty of witness tampering, hindering apprehension and tampering with physical evidence, and could now face up to 10 years in jail and deportation to his native India.
Sentencing has been set for May 21.
The New Jersey jury was confronted with a series of questions on each charge after it asked for clarification on what constituted bias intimidation. Though it found Ravi not guilty on several questions within the verdict sheet, because he was found guilty on at least one question on each main count, Ravi was convicted on all charges and could now face the maximum penalty.

Hello.
Howdy JIF, Yes, you said Don't Offend the Queen, and I said Or she might off herself! It's hard to know what to say these days without offending someone. MADNESS. Good Manners just needs to make a comeback. Treat people as we would like to be treated. Good nite 😉
And yes, I am glad to see you! 🙂
Ravi did a sickening nasty offense against another human being and got caught. Time for him to pay the piper.
