Rookie: "We're Called Survivors Because We're Still Here"

Trigger warning: Sexual assault/rape, incest, suicide, abuse

This is a beautifully-written article for survivors of sexual assault. I can bet you that it’ll be the most worthwhile thing you’ll read all day.

CNN: Student's suicide linked to webcast of sexual encounter

New York (CNN) — On the evening of September 19, Rutgers University student Dharun Ravi is believed to have sent a message by Twitter about his roommate, Tyler Clementi.

“Roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into molly’s room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay.”

Ravi, 18, of Plainsboro, New Jersey, surreptitiously placed the camera in their dorm room and broadcast video of Clementi’s sexual encounter on the internet, the Middlesex County prosecutor’s office said. Ravi tried to use the webcam again two days later, on September 21.

“Anyone with iChat, I dare you to video chat me between the hours of 9:30 and 12. Yes it’s happening again,” Ravi is believed to have tweeted.

The next day, Clementi was dead.

Authorities said the 18-year-old freshman committed suicide by jumping off the George Washington Bridge, which spans the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York. A law enforcement source told CNN that Clementi’s wallet and cell phone were found on the bridge.

HOW and WHY do people think that doing something like this is acceptable?

I can’t think of anything else to say.
