A New Jersey grand jury on Wednesday indicted the roommate of Tyler Clementi, the Rutgers University freshman who killed himself in September, on hate-crime charges in using a webcam to stream Mr. Clementi's romantic encounter with another man on the Internet in the days before the suicide. The roommate, Dharun Ravi, and another student were initially charged with invasion of privacy.
