The two Rutgers students accused of digitally spying on their classmate’s gay sexual encounter were the only ones to see the footage — and they watched it for only a few seconds, their lawyers said yesterday.
Dharun Rhavi and Molly Wei, both 18, allegedly used a Web cam Sept. 19 to spy on Tyler Clementi with another man in the dorm room Clementi and Rhavi shared.
Clementi jumped to his death off the George Washington Bridge three days later.
Rhavi’s lawyer, Steve Altman, told the Newark Star-Ledger, “Nothing was transmitted beyond that one computer, and what was seen was only viewed for a matter of seconds.”
Wei later told friends that she only saw Clementi and the man hug and kiss, the paper said.
Rhavi and Wei, who withdrew from Rutgers in the wake of the scandal, were charged with invasion of privacy.
