"PISCATAWAY, N.J. — The college freshman who jumped to his death after two other teens allegedly streamed online video of his sexual encounter with another man had turned to university staff to help deal with the situation before his suicide, according to messages he is believed to have posted online.
After 18-year-old Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi became aware of the alleged broadcast from posts on roommate Dharun Ravi's social networking sites, he told a resident adviser (RA) about the problem, according to posts attributed to him in forums on the gay website JustUsBoys.com.
On Sept. 22, user cit2mo, widely reported as being Clementi, wrote that his RA "seemed to take it seriously ... he asked me to email him a written paragraph about what exactly happened ... I emailed it to him, and to two people above him...."

In the early morning hours of Sept. 22, cit2mo described the situation the night before, saying he texted his roommate to asking for privacy in advance. He said that when he returned to his room, he noticed the roommate's webcam had been turned to face his bed and said the roommate again promoted the "free show." It was at that point that cit2mo "ran to the nearest RA and set this thing in motion."
