After serving 20 days of his 30 day sentence, Dharun Ravi, the former Rutgers University student accused of spying on his roommate, was released from jail.
Ravi was sentenced to 30 days in jail after being convicted on 15 counts, including invasion of privacy and bias intimidation. He automatically received 5 days off his sentence for good behavior, as well as another 5 for working while serving his sentence. Although released, he still has 3 years of probation, 300 hours of community service and over $11,000 in fines to look forward to. Another thing he can look forward to–doing that all in the United States, as immigration officials announced yesterday that Ravi will not be deported back to his native India.
