The parents of Tyler Clementi have decided not to file any civil suit in connection with the gay Rutgers University student’s suicide, New Jersey’s Star-Ledger reports.
Clementi’s parents, Joe and Jane Clementi, will not sue his roommate, Dharun Ravi, who spied on him with a webcam during an intimate encounter with another man, nor will they sue the university or any other person or entity, their lawyer said Thursday.
“The Clementi family made a considered decision to not pursue civil suits,” attorney Paul Mainardi told the Star-Ledger. “They are devoting their energies to the positive work of the Tyler Clementi Foundation.” The foundation’s mission includes antibullying efforts, suicide prevention, and assistance for LGBT youth.
