The Resume

    (circa 1992- )
    Citizen of India
    Resided in New Jersey
    Attended Rutgers University
    Initially charged, along with fellow student Molly Wei, for two charges of invasion of privacy (September 28, 2010)

Why he might be annoying:

    He set up a hidden camera to film his roommate Tyler Clementi having sex with another mail student.
    He then uploaded the video and broadcast the reel on the internet.
    Clementi, who had not come out at the time of the broadcast, committed suicide by jumping off the George Washington Bridge (September 23, 2010).
    He allegedly attempted to film again two days after first filming Clementi.
    He detailed his prank on his Twitter page but deleted his 'tweets' in an attempt to cover his tracks.
    He refused to accept a plea bargain and so may face years of jail time and deportation if found guilty (December 9, 2011).

Why he might not be annoying:

    His Twitter account was deleted.
    Groups pushed for manslaughter charges since his victim committed suicide.
    In New Jersey, it is illegal to broadcast sexual acts of another person without that person's consent.
    Molly Wei, as part of a plea bargain, agreed to testify against him.
