Woman in Rutgers case seeks pretrial intervention

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) - A former Rutgers University student charged with invasion of privacy in a webcam suicide case is seeking to have her criminal record erased.

The Homes News Tribune of East Brunswick reports that court records show Molly Wei (way) has applied to enter a pretrial intervention program. The program allows nonviolent offenders to expunge their records if they complete probation-like conditions.

The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office must decide whether the 19-year-old is eligible.

Prosecutors have said Tyler Clementi's roommate, Dharun Ravi, used Wei's dorm room computer to view webcam images of Clementi's intimate encounter with a man.

Ravi has been indicted on bias intimidation and invasion of privacy charges.

Clementi's suicide led to a national discussion on bullying.
