NEW JERSEY (WPIX) — A freshman at Rutgers University is believed to have committed suicide after he was secretly taped by two other students during a sexual encounter, police said. The video was allegedly broadcast on the internet.

Because the law, which is in place, says the student who killed himself did, in fact, have a reasonable expectation of privacy while he was having sex.
The court will pass sentence on those who violated that expectation.
Breaking agreements isn’t a basic immorality? OK.
You go ahead and ignore the immorality of all 3 of them. And don't worry, this WILL be the left's new homosexual talking point. He'll be the new Matthew Shepard as has been pointed out.
Your post 296: I am not the one expecting them to not have sex.
You're going to now lecture on morality? OK..
Maybe not directly responsible, but definitely culpable.
I am not lecturing I was asking. Is your reading comprehension that pathetic? /rhetorical question
I’m not ignoring the immorality of what they’ve done.
My posts to you have simply been illustrating the foolishness of your assumptions.
You still don’t want to admit that the mere recording was/is illegal.
I believe Jesus would have looked upon this young man with compassion, love and mercy.. and looked upon his suicide with pain. The Pharisees would have looked upon him with self-righteous judgement.
-——Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. “But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance” (Matthew 9:10-13 NKJV).
“many tax collectors and sinners “
But I repeat myself...
Because the law, which is in place, says the student who killed himself did, in fact, have a reasonable expectation of privacy while he was having sex.
A reasonable expectation of privacy in a shared dorm room? Is it a reasonable expectation for him to commit suicide because his reasonable expectation of privacy was violated?
Do we know for a fact that he was actually having sex? Maybe I'm naive but it said he was "making out". Just asked my 20 year old daughter if that meant having sex and she said no, just kissing and stuff. So we don't even know if there were actual sex acts occurring.
Does anyone know - has anyone actually seen the video?
I have never ONCE stated that it wasn't illegal. And I have NEVER said that it was ok to do. You came into the middle of a conversation and have seriously misunderstood what was said.
My original post was that it was NAIVE for him to expect privacy in a shared dorm room. You have morphed that into something that I did NOT say. You can check my posting history.
So you don’t think agreements are worth anything. Fine. I do.
That's it? You impugn my reading comprehension when trying to justify that you think college sexcapades are fine but, by golly they need PRIVACY?!
He was in the room with one other person, the person he was making out with, or having sex with, whatever it was.
He had a a reasonable, and more importantly in this case, a legal expectation of privacy.
That part of this case is black and white.
Knowing your posting history this is exactly what I expected from you. Putting words in my mouth. ie lying.
That's accurate, you convieniently didn't answer that part.
Can you back that up? I quoted you.
Post 296 : I am not the one expecting them to not have sex.
I have never given the two who taped the young man a pass. If you insist otherwise, post the quote with a link where you think that I did.
They don’t want to discuss anything. They want to argue and accuse. They are simply looking for a fight.
He had a a reasonable, and more importantly in this case, a legal expectation of privacy.
That part of this case is black and white.
That's just nonsense. You sound like an ACLU attorney.
