23. Yes, they are supposedly adults
But college is that period where society seems to encourage extended adolescence, for some strange reason. Also, the media teaches these young people that it's fun to 'punk' someone.

Besides, if I was her lawyer, I'd be selling the story that she had no idea what Ravi had tuned into. Any number of videos from the Internet might have been what he brought up on her screen. If Clementi's face was not clearly visible in them, she might not have even known that it was him. Or, that he had not authorized the video in question.

You have a point about the second attempt, but unless she was in the room while it was going to be streamed out on the Internet, it might be tough to tie her to anything other than viewing the first one. Also, the fact that Clementi thwarted the second attempt might be legally significant. If I'm looking in my neighbor's window (from my own apartment), and she pulls down the shade, am I still technically a peeping Tom?
